[quote=Anonymous]Kid is in a blessed situation.  Instead of going through pipelined recruiting he will enter the real world quickly and learn how to grind.  Having your back against the wall forces you to either crumble or fight and come out wiser and stronger.  Ideally the kid comes out with a job after heavy networking, job hunting, resume fixing and being creative in the process.  Some great options posted on here.  Peace corps, Kaplan, Teach for America and even OCS in the military make sense to me.  Religious missions as well if that fits the bill.  All of these would enhance a profile for a MBA or other Masters down the line.  You can always grind right into corporate America but the options above are legitimate as well.  From the brief description of the problem I think OCS would be a great option.  Ivy to OCS and military service to b-school is probably the most potent combo i have seen on LinkedIn.  The GPA gets negated somewhat after 3 4 years of service.  The kid already has the wiring to get a massive score on GMAT and LSAT etc. And will gain the discipline, leadership, teamwork in the military that seems to be lacking.  He will also have a lifetime reward of having served.  [/quote]
