I presume the second kid is graduating this year? How is the consulting market this year? I heard of some slightly delayed starts …

What school, if you don’t mind my asking?
He graduated last month and actually asked for the later start date of January so he could use some of his internship money and travel, learn Italian and some other skills. He doesn’t seem too worried about the consulting market, but then again he’s currently surfing in Morocco for a month with his phone turned off so he doesn’t seem to have the same worries as me.

First person going to IB 
IB wasn’t on her radar when she went to college. Post freshman year summer did a life science consulting internship. Evidently that experience knocked consulting out, and she found the IB path during sophomore year.

Curious if #3 was influenced by #2.
I think there is some influence amongst the siblings in our case.
Me: communication disorders to grad school in speech language pathology to job as speech language pathologist.
Husband: engineering to job in engineering (and I will add…he went to basically an unranked school with a good engineering program and was VP of his company when he retired)
Son: music performance to grad music performance to freelance musician
Daughter: engineering/biology to doctor. (No, she wasn’t a premed intention in undergrad school)
ETA…we all are happy with our choices…and everyone is self supporting.

I am seeing a lot of people’s paths as very non-straight from where they start to where they end. This is interesting. Perhaps except those that enter college with a pre-professional mindset.
