[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The market for entry level jobs is shifting so fast that most kids are going to have a very difficult time landing anything, internships or permanent jobs post graduation.  If you sit in on some of the investor calls at the Fortune 100s, most have publicly said they're reevaluating the hiring and retention plans given the shifting landscape in AI.  If you have connections, use it.  Otherwise, all kids should think really creatively for what happens post graduation.  Start planning now, even as a sophomore.

This is the part I don’t understand. Some people keep bragging about the benefits of Ivy brands, but what I’ve heard tells a different story. It seems that those who are already well connected will do well wherever they go, including SLAC. [/quote]

Yeah, people looking at outcomes for Ivy grads and thinking its because of the schools, but in reality its because of the families of the kids who go to those schools. So if the schools start admitting too many FGLI or rural kids, then the power of the networks goes down, because they are not bringing those family connections with them. It was like this 25 yrs ago at my Ivy. Alot of the FGLI or MC kids went the professional school route even out of an Ivy  like MD or JD because that is less reliant on those connections.[/quote]
