There was a post asking the same question before, but it wasn't got any answer. The question remains a valid though. Could some "insiders" offer some general idea? Likely it depends on major.
A related question is how strong for BMC alumnae network. Hope there is some light coming out here. Your answer is greatly appreciated.

I don't think many colleges have job placement figures listed. But, I do think coming out of any liberal arts college and getting a job is not as easy as coming out of a technical school and getting a job. Liberal arts school graduates do better in the long haul in life and have much better grad school rates then other types of schools. Right out of school, though, they sometimes struggle more because they are trained in an overall sense. It isn't like someone who gets an RN and is offered 10 jobs with huge sign on bonuses right out of school. Liberal arts graduates do seem to get the promotions first, though. Many LAC graduates go on to grad school to be trained in a specific field rather then expecting a high paying job right out of school.

I am not sure that answers your questions, but it is food for thought.

Your post is very informative and is appreciated. Yes LAC is very different from tech-career oriented school. LAC tends to educate a more integral human than a merely bread earning individual. But as parents they do concern about the reality issue as well. It's not unimaginable to find a well integrated person who may not find a decent job in his/her training if he/she ends up in wrong major and/or wrong timing even after their graduate studies.

As a BMC alum, I can confirm that the Bryn Mawr alum network is very strong. I have been both the beneficiary and the benefactor. I now am looking forward to to my own daughter joining the current BMC 2012 class!

To the point by citrusbelt: given the same major, graduates of high quality LAC do very well as compared to those from larger tech or broad based universities.
