<p>S was a magna grad and made Dean’s List each semester with a tough double major. When Bain came to interview his senior year, there were 90 applicants for interviews. Nine students were interviewed and I think a few were hired. I’m pretty sure my stats are in the ballpark as we had a discussion about Bain earlier this year when I discovered Mitt Romney’s relationship to Bain.</p>
<p>I read so many of these posts about HS seniors who want to get feedback regarding specific jobs. You are going to college to get an education, which is different from training for a job. Forget about the job you think you want at 18. It may be the same 4 years from now, but it is just as likely to change. Savor the opportunity for a world class education! </p>
<p>Let life take you down some different paths than what you envision as a high school grad. D talked about a fellow student who graduated summa two weeks ago with three majors and who has the same on campus position that she does this summer. She has also mentioned several other high achievers who don’t have a job as of yet. Are these kids failures? Absolutely not! I have no doubt they will make nice matches with careers as the economy sorts itself out. Realize that you can’t control what market conditions will be when you graduate and that fact alone will impact your opportunities.</p>
