It would be useful to see the data you reference. [/quote]

Well, you made the assertions, not I, and you made them based on your anecdotal experience (which means nothing) - but here is some info for you anyway:

Most liberal arts graduates plan to, and do go on to professional or graduate school.

Thanks, seems they earn about 30% less than STEM graduates, per your reference 1. This data does not seem to show lifetime earning and employability, which is different from peak earnings. [b]It also does not parse out the role of connections.[/b]

They earn less out of the gate, which is to be expected.  Over the long haul, not so.

What data do you have to support your assertion that a SLAC graduate without connections is sunk?[/quote]
