[quote=Anonymous]OP is an idiot. I clicked on the post expecting to see some huge difference and it’s tiny. 3.5 versus 3.7 GPA, who cares? They are all doing great. OP’s stated facts have actually disproved their conclusion. The lower salaries are explainable by a lot of things that are beyond the control of the students: like not having parents/relatives/family friends who can mentor you, lacking the polish and experiences that go with UMC+ wealth and make for good networking chit-chat (ski trips, hobbies, sleepaway camp, international travel, etc.), not being able to do internships unless they are well paid. So if anything, OP’s conclusion should be that university career offices should try to help poorer students overcome these challenges. They can’t (and shouldn’t try) to make everything equal, but at least they can give them a boost by sponsoring students for internships and similar [/quote]
