[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like law school material. At least, my top 5 law school 15 years ago was full of people who were there because they didn’t know what other next steps to take after college.[/quote]

This.

But really, his Ivy League school should have helped him apply to some kind of 1-2 year training program in consulting or teach for America or something if he had no idea what he wanted to do.[/quote]

I'm totally ignorant about TFA and I understand it has a veneer of prestige (or at least used to) but with demand high for teachers everywhere, why wouldn't an Ivy League or any bachelor's graduate just go get a real teaching job and do it for two years? I assume TFA pay is far less than a real teacher gets in total comp.[/quote]

It is, and it is not easy to get in to. But they do provide training and support to learn how to teach. There may now be state and county programs that do that, though - pair you with a mentor, summer training, etc[/quote]
