[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“A huge percentage of these schools major in humanities and go on to PhDs. Those circles must overlap. Even STEM PhDs aren't that much to brag about though? Like if you can get a good job with your bachelor's alone, isn't that the best case?”

Lol. My friend who got a STEM PhD after attending our CTCL made bank working for biotech startups and retired at 40. [/quote]

Not the PP and also recognize this is an anecdata of one. That said, my former STEM classmates from a CTCL include retired from tech startups, university chair profs, or doctors going into second careers (usually pro bono/non profit).

Not everyone is interested in BigLaw,  Wall Street (or hedge, PE, etc).[/quote]
The vast majority of people don't end up in big law, wall street, or tech startups.

Having stated that, look at the post grad stats for the schools.  How many get good paying jobs?

It's nice that a student can have small class sizes, and individual attention, and pontificate the meaning of life or whatever, but at the end of the day, the vast majority of college students need a good paying job.   And if the college did not prepare them for that, then it failed.[/quote]
