[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this kid less deserving? Because his parents are poors?[/quote]

Even a rich kid with great grades would struggle to get handed such a plum job this late in the year. You're asking an uncle to ask one of his close pals to create a space for an undeserving slacker. The fact s/he is middle class is irrelevant. Going to Duke is also irrelevant. There are 2,000 Duke graduates a year. All would like a $150,000 job after graduation. How many get a $150,000 job? Maybe a few hundred, including computer science students.[/quote]

I am the poster of the 2.9 GPA D1 athlete DS with a high-paying job with an investment company after graduation.  FWIW, I am also from the MC.

OP's nephew should have made "connections" in college to avoid this kind of problem.  My DS quickly learned in college that [b]college kids with rich parents always like to hang out with athletes and musicians because they want to hang out with "cool" people[/b].  In returns, they ask their parents to help DS for opportunities after graduation.   It is a win-win formula.  Maybe OP's nephew doesn't have any [b]useful skills that those college kids with rich parents want.[/b]  That's how it works in the real world.[/quote]

Oh I see so plumb jobs go to the bros who are athletic stars who can help your DS meet girls in college; that’s a more important skill than anything taught in classrooms.

I understand it’s how the world works, but I would think you would have been prouder of your kid if they had been an athlete and got a decent GPA from what you yourself said is an easy state school.  But yeah, he’s making $$$ for chasing a ball, ‘Merica. [/quote]

There are tons of jobs technically in finance, from easy to get to hyper selective entry and high wages. The PP sounds like a troll spamming finance buzzwords and cliches. A dumb jock with a 2.9 gpa may get a cushy “finance” job but it’s not the same caliber of job the elbowy smart kids are fighting for.[/quote]
