[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both.  Ypu also need to put off life for awhile.  Your 20s you will be broke and always studying while your peers are steadily making more money and have free time after work.  [/quote]

We took it as just more years of partying. Less money but definitely not less time. Never felt broke, travelled a lot and had lots of fun. [/quote]

Did you get jobs in your field? My field was definitely no fun. We were broke and always studying.[/quote]
Related: it was econ, so people went into management consulting, investment banking, government, energy, etc. [/quote]

well so is mine, and we most definitely did not see it as a time filled with more years of partying.  it was quite miserable.  judging by your list of where people ended up, I suspect I went to a better program.[/quote]

Huh? People went where they wanted to go or into a random job for better money. It's a personal preference. I have chosen the program because it gave me more money than a STEM program, as I never had any passion, only abilities. Same happened with the first job after the program: random because of money, it was all the same to me.
I don't count people who work as economists or teach, that's a given. 
There will be always people who study and miserable and there will be always those who have fun and study. [/quote]
