[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD hustled and got a post-graduation job. It is at a firm where half the posters would be impressed and the other half would say gross. [b]A few years ago I naively was encouraging her to go for a fellowship, like a Fulbright, or honors program in a government agency.  She was correct to hustle for the corporate job. [/b]

I will note that she works very hard and is grateful for the job. Her role isn’t STEM or finance so she isn’t paid as much as some are noting here. But she enjoys the work and her team and is getting great experience.  [/quote]

I have no clue why parents who aren't 1% wealthy or have trust funds set up for their kids would let their kids do stupid BS like Fulbrights or an honors program at the State Department; those are just holding grounds for unemployable, downwardly mobile kids.

Even more confusion at why people let their kids go to Vassar and major in stuff like English when they don't have generational wealth. Like the Whole Foods poster -- WTF? Your kid would be WAY better off doing engineering at VA Tech. [/quote]
