[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every May, 10,000+ Ivy League bachelors grads enter the workforce. There are at most a couple of thousand entry level IB/ consulting positions. An unexceptional Ivy philosophy grad has zero chance when there are enough Econ/Math/STEM plus exceptional Liberal Arts Ivy grads for those positions.[/quote] But if your kid is good at philosophy and passionate about it, they are more likely to do well in those classes than they are to do well in econ classes or engineering classes. Maybe they won't get a job at MBB or in IB or maybe they do not want one. But learning to think rigorously and write well are valuable skills. That said, if your kid wants to be a humanities major, they are likely going to need to hustle and forge their own path - that or go to med school or law school.[/quote]
