[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think the word "elite" is being used incorrectly above. The posters are really referring to expected earnings by major rather than elite.[/quote] If someone says I go to Princeton, I study gender study. Does it sound elite? I go to Northwestern, I major in dance. Does it sound elite? [/quote] At Princeton it's called GSS, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and from what I gather, less than 1% of their students graduate with a degree in this. So it's not really the popular wacky lefty thing you think it is. And actually, I'd bet whatever handful kids do major in it have no trouble landing some fluff diversity/hr job at some tech firm. And nobody is really impressed by Northwestern in general. It is not an elite college.[/quote]
