[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a liberal arts degree (economics and something soft) from the highest ranked school you can. Recruiting for finance, consulting, and corporate /strategy roles are much much easier if you are in English and economics major coming from Rice or Vanderbilt or Emory compared to CS at Purdue….. Ask around people!!![/quote] This. College is not trade school, despite the pervasive and lingering lower middle class belief to the contrary. [/quote] This is 2024, not 1954, despite how some elite people want to think it is. College is no longer about a liberal art education, and then get some job because you have a degree. That's 1954 thinking. This is not how it works today, in 2024.[/quote] Especially when you have to pay $$$$ Of course if you are a trust fund kid, take an easy major and cruise. Worry more about brand of the school as an accessory. [/quote]
