[quote=Anonymous]The top LACs have student who often turned down Ivies, because they value what undergraduate-focused school can offer. One of my kids graduated from a T3 LAC with a philosophy degree, and then was hired as an analyst at a major economic consulting firm. With no econ degree, and in fact no econ courses. And that's not unusual, at a handful of schools. Same kid then went to a T3 law school and was EIC of the law review. Elite clerkships, elite law firm, etc. etc. Point is not to brag but to point out that the idea that a "you want fries with that" career outcome as a result of a "liberal arts major" (which as pointed out previously, is not really a thing), is a ridiculous supposition, usually made by those who believe college should be a trade school.[/quote]
