[quote=Anonymous][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.  [b]Don't assume the Ivy/Ivy+ degrees automatically confirm employment status[/b] ... not in this sort of changing landscape.  [/quote]

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]
The benefits of the Ivy title or top school title is access to really good education, resources, and research. Our kid was in a top biochem lab and that position as a RA got him a job almost immediately in pharma. It’s more about what you choose to do and how personable you are tha 100% school choice.[/quote]

What you described is also available at several state flagship universities with good reputations. It isn’t exclusive to the Ivy.[/quote]
