[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a HYP grad, I wouldn't let my kids attend if they are just going to get a major in econ to go into business. I succeeded very well and ended up in PE. It was single-handedly the worst mistake me and many of my friends made, even if we were paid handsome sums. I would've preferred going into accounting and living a happy life.[/quote]

I'm not sure why it's no acceptable to you for HYP students to major in economics and ultimately go into business? 
Because you did and regret going into PE??

Nothing wrong with studying economics @ HYP.  It by no means precludes a happy life. [/quote]
Some parents here are lawyers and would never let their kids touch a law degree. They get it.

It's just not a healthy career option and is a degrading field for women in my personal opinion.[/quote]

But the reference was to the economics [b]major[/b], not a career.  PP said they wouldn't let a student major in Econ at HYP.

One can pursue many other careers than PE with an Econ major.  PP's career may have been a poor fit for them, but to conclude that studying Econ at HYP is therefore a "bad choice" is faulty logic.[/quote]
