That being said, I don’t think colleges should be nor do I like the thought of them being professional factories. LACs are a great respite from that madness. But moderation is key here, as those of us graduating would like to find proper jobs and not be relegated.

So how much of a problem really is this? Is it only for students wanting to go into certain competitive industries like consulting or finance? What do you mean by a “proper” job?

I’m wondering if it’s more the location that is the issue since maybe more Davidson alumni who could help don’t live as often in places like NYC. It is likely true that there are a lot of LACs in the Northeast that graduate students competing for jobs in that area of the country and that those companies might not be quite as familiar with Davidson. Did you investigate this before you chose Davidson?
