[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dumb question but do you generally [b]need to have charisma, be really put-together, good looking, outgoing, etc.[/b] to get these jobs?
The kids I know fit this description but I have a very small sample.[/quote]

Not a dumb question. Answer is yes, and that is why someone posted about fraternities. [/quote]
It depends what you’re doing. Some of the jobs select purely on brain power (like being very mathy, IQ 145 or 155+) and being willing to work really hard. [/quote]

Those things that you described are some of the traits that most D1 athletes have in non-revenue sports such as tennis or golf.  They don't have to be great, just good students.  That's why most of them get jobs on Wall Streets.  You don't have to be the smartest to work in IB or consulting, just being good is often enough.  Getting jobs in IB or consulting is not easy even for Ivies grads, unless you have connections.  Athletes, regardless of Ivies, have connections that regular students do not.[/quote]
