[quote=Anonymous]"I never really understand people who come on here and post their first post-grad experiences from 20+ years ago. How is that relevant?
+1. It doesn't help when I recently read a Times piece about t15 college alums based on 2002-2006 college graduates. Not only have all these elites changed so much, but kids entering college this fall are class of 2022, they have nothing in common with young gen X'ers 20 years older."

What is really frightening is that you both don't understand that it takes 10 to 20 years after graduation from college to have any idea "what happens to someone" or what happens to any particular cohort.  The first job people get and if they "have 3 job offers in January" has much more to do with the economy (expected economy) at that time than where they went to school.  Over those 10 to 20 years, the economic cycles average out and the benefit of one type of background or another plays out.  Any "study" that was based on the last two or three years would have cherry picked the data by definition.[/quote]
