[quote=Anonymous]where you go to college for CS or Engineering doesn't matter much. same as it doesn't for physical therapy or dentistry. these are hard skills.

but the idea that people don't want to hire Harvard grads is factually incorrect. there are good stats on this, including how many are working *in the field* after graduation. the idea that there are more "coddled" ivy league grads or legacy admits or any of the rest is factually incorrect.

is it harder today than an in our day, when the child of a Scarsdale doctor with assess to a test prep class could pretty much walk into any top 10 school? yes, it is. does this impact my kid? probably. Does this make me think "kids today are all legacy admits or DEI kids" - lol, no.

But I know those parents. They are the same people who assume every new POC in the office who comes in at a level above them is a "diversity hire".  Low information.

But I agree with Nate Silver that 100k a year is a not good spend for a humanities major (and it's dumb for a stem major) unless you're super rich or have one kid and it sparks joy to do this.
