[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do highly credentialed HYPS grads accept crap jobs after graduation?

My neighbor’s son is a senior at a HYPS right now, and she told me that her son just accepted a job offer after graduation. When I asked her what the job is, she told me that her son is moving to Oregon to be a full-time whitewater kayaking instructor.

I was bewildered by this. With a math degree from HYPS, I would assume he’d get a great job offer at graduation.

Oh and for the record, it’s not like he is a rich kid who can rely on his parents — he is solidly middle class and went to his college on a good amount of financial aid. [/quote]

Just ask what the plan is there. Normal question.

Maybe he wants to relax and apply to med school or take a sort of gap year. [/quote]

Nobody “relaxes while applying to med school.” It’s not 1995. The kids taking gap years to apply to med school are working clinical jobs full-time i.e. EMT, CNA, Americorps. They’re not kayaking in Oregon.[/quote]

You can kayak in oregon during the 3 month tourist season and not derail the rest of your life.

Look, no one has any details or basic info here, including OP. OP is just throwing out theories like most of you all. Get a life. [/quote]
