<p>@goblue2018: why wouldn’t more Whartonites go into IB/Management Consulting?</p>
<p>Because some people aren’t interested. I never went to Wharton to go into IBanking. I didn’t even take Finance 100 till my second semester senior year. I knew it wasn’t the path for me, based on interest and more importantly lifestyle, so I pursued other things because my interests where elsewhere. For some people, money is not the most important motivator. Considering how much money undergrads can make at the top banks, it’s quite funny that it still wasn’t enough for me to ever consider it. We all value things differently, so do not assume that the rational decision is to follow the money. 1/2 the class going into IB or Management Consulting is more than enough. The other 1/2 go on to positions with major manufacturers and tech firms, starting their own business or joining startups, and some even go to grad school (and for things other than business!).</p>
