Date: September 25th, 2014 11:23 AM Author: out-of-control ticket booth Your average philosophy major doesn't have what it takes to do STEM especially in an accelerated BA program. a lot of them require prereqs. Most software engineering jobs are also absolute shit. biglaw sucks, but i'd rather fuck around with documents all day than work in some shit software engineering job that will probably get outsourced.
if you can get into a good business school that is almost always a better option though. |

Date: September 25th, 2014 11:18 AM Author: out-of-control ticket booth At my T10 it was a lot of state school grads with shit liberal arts degrees that probably would have no shot at a decent b-school. however, a shitty b-school might have still been a better option.
i definitely didn't understand why the fuck there were people from top undergrads there though. you can work any shitjerb for a few years and probably get into a respectable b school just on your undergrad name. |

Date: September 26th, 2014 7:56 PM Author: irradiated church digit ratio To go against the sentiments here I think this might be a good time for liberal arts shitheads to be going to law school if they can stand the work and stick it out for biglaw because the market might actually start to correct itself. A top b school is better, if you can make that work.... but a lot of those dudes just end up becoming bullshit marketing managers for the next bullshit startup and bounce around for years doing that shit.
