[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 I read that nauseating NY piece, too.

I hate what this area has become.  Students aspiring to be MBB consultants instead of nonprofit workers.  FinTech instead of medicine.  BigLaw instead of ADAs or DoJ.  I’m not even that old but I feel angry and resentful, missing the more innocent days of the nineties.  [/quote]

What really gets me is that they aren’t going to medical school, engineering, urban planning, PhD biology programs … I don’t care so much that they aren’t going to “do gooder” jobs, but they aren’t doing *anything* enriching to themselves (other than $$) or society. What a waste of brainpower and the privilege of a top college education. [/quote]

If you don’t want students chasing money, then tell top schools to stop charging an outlandish fortune. Even after the schools supposedly “meet need” kids have a ton of debt. It is utterly unrealistic to saddle them with debt and then expect them to go do something “enriching” to themselves or society.[/quote]
