[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It cut off. Here is the rest:

Example 2: A neighbor’s daughter is currently a senior at Princeton majoring in Comparative Literature. I would never let my kid major in that. Last winter, I told her that her daughter absolutely needs to find a summer internship before her senior year of college if she wants any hope of being employed after graduation. The mom told me that her daughter didn’t intern—she worked as a summer camp counselor instead. Not surprisingly, she is in February of her senior year of college and still doesn’t have a job offer after graduation. [/quote]
 Although I agree an internship would be preferable to the camp counselor job which seems to have not connection to her education and abilities, maybe she will apply to PhD programs in Comp Lit and be happy and successful in academia someday. I think you should stop being so judgy of other people's kids.
 Also, the MIT grad could also get into a variety of grad programs, do well in them I am sure, and then apply to Med school again. Life is long. [/quote]
