<p>I echo what hanna has said. Just because Chicago is marketed as a “life of the mind” environment doesn’t mean that everyone goes onto grad school. In particular, the econ department is very strong and many firms come and recruit undergrads for jobs right out of school. There are job fairs, potential internship emails from CAPs, and listings available for all different types of interests. I wouldn’t worry so much; you’re daughter will be able to find something that suits her interests at Chicago.</p>
