For what it’s worth, I graduated from Williams (back in the dark ages), went to graduate school for 5 years, and ended up with more money in savings (from fellowships, etc.) than when I started. (But I didn’t have a car.)

The first of the Williams art mafia - Lane Faison - is still alive and living in Williamstown, though he is well into his 90s.

Good advice above - languages are critical. One or even two of them are best before starting graduate school. I have seen studies that indicate that it is the single best predictor of graduate school success, more so than even GPA.
