[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] elite universities select for people who are good at embracing the dullness and conformity of corporate culture, people who think that seeking "leadership positions" in various meaningless student-run clubs is a good use of time, people who need structured activity for at least 16 hours a day, people who lack some sort of spirit which is hard to identify and name but which is important. [/quote] Actually, they select *against* precisely this group of people.[/quote] Disagree. Look at Ivy recruiting outcomes. Look at how many go into consulting. Consulting is intellectually interesting BUT often depends on intellectual asset stripping of the people who actually work for the client. At best it's a talent rental model where the talent never sees the fruit of its labors. This is an "excellent sheep" kind of industry and it absorbs a huge amount of grads because it pays well.[/quote]
