[quote=flyer]I think it would be far more revealing to see a breakdown of the stats concerning the percentage of students in various colleges who actually achieve the goals they set after graduation. As I mentioned in my small sample, we’re seeing about 50% among our friends and acquaintances who have kids in that age group.[/quote]
My sense is that most graduates are less willing to sacrifice for their ultimate career. For example, I’ve heard through the grapevine that students graduating from Rady School of Business won’t take jobs outside of the San Diego/LA area . . . even if it’s 3M, Proctor and Gamble, etc. They won’t even interview. Crazy. You might not want to live in Cincinnati forever, but the experience is worth a lot. My nephew had a shot at a job with a big tech company, but wouldn’t consider leaving Chicago. So if you put those kind of limitations on the job search, the chances of success are reduced.
