<p>Funk, I hate to be the grammar police, but since you threw some latin on us, you kinda earned it. It’s prerequisite, not perquisite. The latter is a special privilege or benefit of a job (“perks”).</p>
<p>Back to the discussion. I have also wondered about the importance of undergrad research. As we tour with our HS kid, all the schools seem to make a big deal of it. Posters seem to agree it’s important for grad school admission, but what about employability? Is undergrad research important for someone who doesn’t intend to go to grad school?</p>
