[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn’t read the whole thread but I was a middle class non-athlete Ivy grad and had to seriously hustle in order to get a shitty entry level job. Key was my parents weren’t whispering in my ear that my Ivy education should have meant otherwise. Your son needs a schedule to combat his depression and you need to stop even hinting that he’s somehow more deserving than others. A retail job plus some volunteering could impart some good habits and perspective - as well as improve his resume.[/quote] RE: "shitty entry level job" I don't mean this facetiously, were you targeted in a negative way for having a "prestigious" degree in a setting with presumably few or zero prestigious degrees? Curious what your trajectory was like after that. How long you remained in that "shitty" job, did you ever end up tapping an Ivy network as you job hopped, or did go back to grad school?[/quote]
