[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ignore all those insisting you must attend an elite college to work on Wall Street and take a look at the evidence that some companies provide on their websites. Here's Goldman Sachs' page introducing some of their employees.

Take a look at their bios, many of which include the colleges they attended, and you'll see the truth.[/quote]

clearly, you don’t work on Wall Street. You have to look at the department and title.[/quote]

And we're supposed to believe you do work on Wall Street and are posting on an anonymous college discussion board all throughout the trading day?[/quote]

Do you have any experience of your children going through this? You should listen to other peoples' experiences.[/quote]

Anecdotes don't give a complete enough picture for me. I want hard data and lots of it, and have seen none from those on this thread who are insisting you have to attend an elite college.[/quote]

The list literally takes the jobs that were offered and divides by the number of students at each school and then ranks them by %age given positions. You can't get any more date-driven than that. And you would have to get into the elite college before you decided whether you can attend.[/quote]

I have no reason to doubt that the list is accurate and haven't said so. What I know is not true is that the schools on the list are the only ones that have people working on Wall Street in desirable positions. Show me data to contradict that assertion.

Those who produce and/or promote these lists are oblivious to the serious damage they do to the well-being of those who use them, or they simply don't care.[/quote]

Send your kid anywhere you want. Just letting you know that Wall Street is probably not realistic. It’s ok. There are other careers. No one is trying to do damage to you, but to let you know how it actually works. You don’t have to believe the list or me, but it is a fact of life.[/quote]
