What are the general perceptions of WashU?

All I have to do is look at my NU alumni magazine and see the alumni notes to see that there is incredible diversity in what people do. Off the top of my head, I can think of classmates who are pastors, fundraisers for colleges, in human resources, own a yoga studio, work in marketing, are entrepreneurs, run a chain of gift shops, are counselors, are radio or TV personalities, work in government positions, write books, are statisticians, etc. Even stay-at-home moms and dads! You’re still young - you’re still all starry eyed over the handful of jobs that you mention. That’s not all there is in the world. </p>

<p>BTW I’m not a management consultant in the Bain / McKinsey / BCG way, r-o-f. I spent 15 years in the business world and now do very specialized consulting in my field of expertise.

Most other top 20 schools have this same diversity that NU does, but still there is a heavy slant towards the high paying jobs and the traditional powerhouse fields like medicine and engineering. That’s just generally the focus of most kids who go to these schools such as myself.</p>
