[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If by ‘consulting’ you mean Deloitte, EY, Oliver White, PWC or any other mid tier firm, I am not that impressed. They also recruit at UGA Pitt and a ton of other states schools. And they hire thousands and thousands every year. They are simply filling a recruiting class. If you mean McKinsey, Bain, or BCG then kudos because regardless of myriad opinions about consulting industry - those are the elites and they are selective[/quote]

My DD never aimed for McKinsey or Bain. Not everyone wants to go there or to Harvard, but you can still have a great job and a great life without all that. We didn’t want a stressful college or a stressful job for our kids. There are some people who won’t be happy unless they end up at Harvard and McKinsey but all I am trying to say is that there are great options for those who are not interested in the rat race.[/quote]

Well they don’t recruit at UMD, so it was never an option for your DD short of other contacts. I’m not sure what your point is then. Do smart kids everywhere land solid jobs?? Yes, obviously they do. But your comment here is what sets a divergent path even if you don’t understand it. There are those who at 30 will jump from top tier consulting as an exit strategy and take a company public, making tens of millions, those who will have left Deloitte to be VP at a some bank making 170k. Yes, your kid will be fine. But no, your kid’s path isn’t entirely like all the Duke grads.[/quote]

Feel sorry for your kids they ended up with a parent like you. [/quote]
