[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated from an Ivy in the mid 90s with a STEM degree. Had multiple job offers with decent salaries and signing bonuses, as did most of my peers (range was generally $35-50k). Others went on directly to grad school. There were a handful of English major types that took odd jobs before going back to grad school, but I can't think of anyone who didn't have something lined up at graduation. [/quote] What a difference 15-20 years makes. It's a new world out there.[/quote] I graduated from an Ivy in 2005 with a STEM degree and also had multiple job offers. Most of my peers (engineering) went straight to industry and a few of my classmates went to grad school. My brother graduated from a "public Ivy" in 2010 with a liberal arts degree and wasn't able to get a job until this summer, and it's in an entry-level sales position. What a difference just 5 years makes.[/quote]
