must have been the family/friends connections. I doubt companies just hire by your attendance to a name school- without any knowledge or experience on the field. so where can you start? with rich connections. boy, that's relieving.

In fact, most of the investment banks recruit on our campus...I had a bunch of friends who were English or history majors who went directly from college into high 5 to low 6 figure jobs working at places like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan/Chase and Lehman Brothers (woe be unto them). Part of this is that the school is excellent, but to be honest, employers don't usually care too much about your major -- it is relevant skills, experience and your intelligence. |
