[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read through this entire thread, but I understand OP's complaint.  Seems the higher ranked the school, the more contempt it has for kids that actually want jobs after graduation vs. continuing on in Academia or other graduate school programs.

I recall I think on a Clemson tour that a student was commenting on some classes they offer where you actually work with companies to solve their actual problems (under the guidance of the professor).

The tour guide mentioned that the professor told the kids the reason the class exists is that they hope/expect participating companies to hire kids for jobs/internships which they often do.

Just a difference in the attitude of the school and what it thinks its mission is.[/quote]
This isn’t special. Harvey Mudd was one of the first programs to create this style class and it’s called Clinic. [/quote]

Nobody said it was special, but it's not super common at top schools either...most Ivy professors don't believe one of their main functions (or really their function at all) is to get their students jobs.
