Says the management consultant…it’s easy to talk the talk but it’s harder to walk the walk of the “noble and interesting life” you promote so often on this site. Northwestern is exactly the type of school I’m talking about.</p>
<p>A significant number of NU grads want to be doctors/lawyers/engineers/consultants/bankers just like any other good school. That’s not to say there aren’t interesting people at the school. The subjects people major in and study in at college don’t really correlate well with what they actually end up doing. I’ve known some English majors who went on to be doctors at Duke for instance.</p>
