This is why a bachelor's degree is worthless now - any idiot can get one. |

Date: September 1st, 2015 1:22 PM Author: Insecure Lime Juggernaut State "[A] survey, carried out by PayScale for Businessweek in 2012 . . . showed that students who attend M.I.T., Caltech, and Harvey Mudd College enjoy an annual return of more than ten per cent on their 'investment.' But the survey also found almost two hundred colleges where students, on average, never fully recouped the costs of their education. 'The big news about the payoff from college should be the incredible variation in it across colleges,' Cappelli writes. 'Looking at the actual return on the costs of attending college, careful analyses suggest that the payoff from many college programs—as much as one in four—is actually negative. Incredibly, the schools seem to add nothing to the market value of the students.'" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2978141&forum_id=2#28667876) |

"Rivera interviewed more than a hundred recruiters from investment banks, law firms, and management consulting firms, and she found that they recruited almost exclusively from the very top-ranked schools, and simply ignored most other applicants. The recruiters didn’t pay much attention to things like grades and majors. 'It was not the content of education that elite employers valued but rather its prestige,' Rivera concluded." |

Date: September 1st, 2015 1:32 PM Author: Magenta indian lodge This is some crazy coastal media elitism right here. The sheer number of NY-centric articles on these topics through the lens of BANKING CONSULTING LAW is ridiculous. These are a fraction of jobs that people take, even successful people, and in most parts of the country not something people even understand.
