[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these hoity-toity econ majors. The reality is that econ is the easy degree for mediocre/students without any passions to find jobs. That's it. It could've been stats or cs, but those require the scary word-MATH-so, instead, people major in Econ. Any liberal arts college grad has the social skills to get through a finance position. These are all students smart enough to get through the wacky college admissions process and land on top; that's hard to do without persuasive qualities. [/quote]

Tell me more about these mediocre students getting into Williams [/quote]
Sure. They have no passions or real drive beyond the push from their parents. Some of them are recruited and got a massive boost to get into the college. They never actually had to think for themselves, so they need to make the cushy decision of a medium-difficulty major, so they don't need to work much at anything. It's a sellout major for a reason. It's lazy.[/quote]

So the kids who spend enough time playing their sport to get recruited to a NESAC and managed to get near perfect grades? Sounds like a lazy kid to me [/quote]
You definitely don't need near perfect grades to get recruited. That's what the official blurb states to make athletes feel good about themselves and cover schools' asses, but it is just not true. Reminds me of an athlete on campus, who made the same argument and touted his high scores. Turns out, his high school is one of those snobby schools with 0 grades and only "evaluations." [/quote]
