[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was an Ivy English major and just graduated last year. Works in investment banking. A recent Wall Street Journal article (I don't have the link) said that a lot of companies really valued liberal arts majors instead of "trade majors" because they can think. Let you kid decide OP. Don't decide for him...he will resent your interference. The key is to do as many internships as possible to see what he likes and to also get a "leg up" on getting a job when he graduates.[/quote] Yes, I'm sure if your kid had majored in English at a non-Ivy school, the investment banks would still have hired him. Conversely, if your kid had majored in accounting at his Ivy, the investment banks wouldn't have been interested because he wouldn't have shown he could "think". [/quote]
