Opportunities after graduation?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Reed College

<p>Okay, I'll make this one short because my entire post just got deleted. Or at least I think it did. I've never done this before (I mean, excluding a minute ago). Anyway...</p>

<p>Basically ever since I've heard about Reed, I've wanted to attend. The only aspect that held me back as a freshman was the distance from my home town. But since I have not been challenged whatsoever at my large university (and that's all I really want), I'm very seriously considering applying as a transfer student. There's just this one problem. I've read in several places that Reed graduates have a difficult time finding jobs after graduation. Now, don't get me wrong. All I've ever wanted to do was sit at a mahogany desk and read until my eyeballs fall out. I want to learn to learn to learn. I'm also planning on attending graduate school, which I've heard readily accepts Reed graduates. But if, by any chance, this plan falls through, I would still love to be able to start my career in the working world (ick!) once I leave Reed. I'm majoring in psychology.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any insight as to how easily Reed graduates find jobs?</p>

<p>Reed is indeed a grad school prep college, and I don’t think you’d find much of a career-oriented psych job from any school with just a BA (think Masters or Certificate), but it should be easy enough to find a relatively low-paying job (all of our Reed psych D’s psych friends did). But try this:</p>
