[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all of you arguing over Bucknell, they actually publish an annual comprehensive list of where their most recent class is working or attending graduate school.

Here's the one from 2023:

There are degrees within in the school of liberal arts (economics, etc) that appear to lead to Wall Street jobs and then if you scroll further you'll come to their Business school (Freeman College of Management).

I have no affiliation with Bucknell.  My son is a rising senior, we toured this summer and he decided that it's not for him.  [/quote]

PP, thank you for posting this. It is an excellent report. All institutions should publish similar. You can clearly see that 90% of the finance grads are in IB-adjacent fields. These are great positions! Here is an analogy: they made the pro football team, they can’t all be quarterbacks (IB analysts). It seems like most kids and parents think it’s IB Analyst or bust. It’s not. Learn the game, play, and make the team. At 17 you can’t set yourself up to be a Pro Football QB (IB  Banking Analyst) or bust. [/quote]
