<p>First off, my congratulations to all the new Techers/prefrosh and to those who are graduating this year. </p>
<p>I thought you might be interested in seeing what happened to many Techers who didn't continue in the natural sciences. The following is based on a list that's been circulating among various professors. These were all Caltech undergrads who did PhD's in the social sciences are now mostly tenured at various universities. Let me know if any can be added to this list or if there are mistakes.</p>
<p>I would also note that this list probably represents a very large fraction -- nearly a majority -- of ALL Techers who ever went for a PhD in Econ/Poli Sci/Sociology in the 20th century, since most went to school or work in engineering or the sciences.</p>
<p>Why am I posting this list? To show how relevant a Caltech degree is, not only to getting a PhD in Soc Science, but in going on to a reasonable career at a research university.</p>
