[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The writers seem to blame it on careerism when really it’s just a lower quality student who doesn’t care about education. A lot of students are in it for the jobs, and don’t care at all about what they learn, [b]shown by the rise of Econ and CS majors everywhere.[/b][/quote]

Perhaps at Harvard those majors are not rigorous. At many other universities they are. I know many smart kids from those majors (not from H).

Harvard has long been known as the hardest Ivy to get in, easiest to graduate from. Opposite of Cornell.[/quote]

Like PP says, it matters very little. I need employee who are equal parts collaborative, analytical, quantitative and creative. Good luck finding these people in the most rigorous programs. [b]Most of them lean anxious/rigid [/b]non collaborative.[/quote]

What many of these kids had to do to get into Ivy has affected their overall mental health and wellbeing. It's very sad, actually. An endless hamster wheel that set the terms for the rest of their professional lives.
