Am I wrong to regret attending college? (Yale)

Doncic42, I appreciate your point. In fact, I suspect one of the reasons my three kids did so well following graduation from Yale is that they were required to work full time during the summers while they were in college (in exchange for my husband and I paying their tuition). Strong, relevant work experience is extremely valuable no matter where one attends college. That being said, my friend is an Investment Banker and shared something interesting about what their Human Capitol department has discovered. In attempting to assess which Analyst new hires do best at their IB firm, they identified and evaluated a number of variables, and then determined if these variables were positively or negativity correlated with success in that position. What they found is that students with quantitative majors were positively correlated (did better than the baseline…no surprise) as did students from liberal arts schools (big surprise!). But the biggest surprise was that undergraduate Business majors were negatively correlated with success in this job (performed worse than the baseline!). They can’t know why but they surmise that students who study at liberal arts schools (like you) are generally more curious by nature and more eager to learn new things. I suspect your four years at Yale was likely more formational than you may currently realize. Again, I wish you the best!
