[quote=Anonymous]What kind of job do you imagine a psychology major from any school should have right out of college?  Also, I hate to tell you but GWU is NOT the most expensive school in the United States. That honor belongs to Sarah Lawrence College.

The average net price at GWU is $32,000.

Said student at Enterprise had a full-ride scholarship.

Management trainees at Enterprise earn between $30K and $45K per year - hardly minimum wage. And frankly, I would be proud of my child for being independent.

I graduated from GWU with a degree in Political Science/International Relations.  I had great professors and would not have my career today had I not gone there.  That being said, my first job out of college that I used to support myself without Mom or Dad was in retail?  Was it what I went to college for?  No.  But my eyes were on the prize.  Life is a journey and a career a long game.  I now tell young people who come to me for career advice that early on in their careers they should be looking for experience and worry less about the paycheck.  Thing about the skills you will gain in the position as well as the exposure and connections.  In my career field, it is not enough to come to the table speaking multiple foreign languages and having a knowledge of IR theory, but combine that with some solid business or political skills and experience and you have a hook that will start you on a great career.
