[quote=Anonymous]OP it sounds like you and your child unfortunately drank the kool aid that selective schools peddle. Just because you go to a very selective topX school you're not guaranteed a great job or a great life. Top colleges aren't the upward mobility ticket to careers they once were 1-2 generations ago. Social connections will always trump school logos. Perhaps your child can ask their college friends if one of their parents works in a field they are interested in and set up a coffee meeting to get some advice on how to land a job or internship in that field? Don't rely on the college's career planning office. [/quote]
