[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an unfortunate situation for the OP’s son. It also highlights the advantage of attending a smaller school like Bucknell or Colgate with a strong Greek system and a tight alumni base that isn’t built solely around sports. Your career network has way more tentacles at those schools. The OP mentioned that career services was no help, but what about fraternity connections or reaching out to alums eager to hire him simply because he's a Wolverine? My guess is OP didn’t mention those options because they weren’t available. There’s a reason very few kids in business or finance majors at Bucknell or Colgate graduate jobless, and it isn’t just because of the academic reputation. Attending one of those schools, joining a top-tier fraternity, building a relationship with career services early, and tapping into the alumni network is basically a cheat code for stacking cheese right out of college.[/quote]

Colgate is $93k/ year. We turned it down for that reason. Dc was a recruited athlete- and had the stats- but the money offered (1free year essentially) would’ve still meant $270k for undergraduate. Yeah no. [/quote]
