[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my kid at a top nescac and sooo many kids going the data or consulting routes as opposed to IB.  The consulting lifestyle or learning state of the art AI, big data, etc. holds a lot more appeal than IB drudgery.  Pay not that much different first couple years , then they all go to b school anyway.  Mind as well learn a useful skill and enjoy urself in early 20s.  Data internship offers paying $90k annualized for 10 week gig.  Not bad for a 20 yr old with another year of school left..[/quote]

LOL....Why do people have to mention top schools this or that?  I just don't get it.

FWIW, my kid majors in Business Information Technology (BIT) at a school in VA where 99% of DCUMers would laugh at but he got an internship at the end of his sophomore year with a FinTech for 60/hr (120k annualized)  for a ten weeks gig.  His education cost less than half PP's top nescac, LOL... [/quote]

sounds like u feel your son is doing well, and are happy with his school selection despite the fact u feel people on this board would laugh at the school - a bit weird thing to say imo, but congrats - but the real value of a “top nescac” is usually the alumni benefits and connections that are realized over a lifetime - these schools have extremely loyal alumni with many who go out of their way to help - that u may not realize with a degree from ur sons school[/quote]

and don’t forget in 3 years when both applying to b school the kid from the top nescac will likely be the more successful candidate assuming same undergrad grades - the high paying internship means zippo at that point.. especially when combined with the type of school that dcum would “laugh at”[/quote]
