[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Swarthmore in the ‘90s. They don’t care about sports recruiting, but they definitely care about FGLI and legacy. Although I have always thought it was very cynical of them to try to persuade low-income students that careers in academia in the humanities are a path to the middle class. I know many people from Swarthmore who wasted their 20s in PhD programs and never got tenure track jobs. They would have been much better off in anything else: nursing, accounting, IT, [b]engineering[/b], even K-12 teaching. It’s fine to go that route if you have family money, but not if you need to get a job and lift your family out of poverty.[/quote] Isn't Swat best known for its engineering?[/quote]
