<p>To waitlistman:</p>
<p>I’m going to assume you’re not a ■■■■■. For some reason on these forums the question of “do Brown grads get jobs” comes up.</p>
<p>As far as tour guides go, many Brown grads don’t HAVE to get jobs right away. Those that do, on the other hand, tend to be very successful at it (and at going where they want). And the kinds of jobs we want aren’t likely to be outsourced anytime soon.</p>
<p>Example with CS (it’s what I know best): Brown is one of the main recruiting grounds for TripAdvisor (along with MIT, according to the driver who brought me to my interview), as well as Oracle and Microsoft (seriously here, it seems like 2/3 of our CS seniors are going to be in Seattle next year, with Microsoft or Google).</p>
<p>In terms of going to grad school: most of the people at Brown want to keep going to school. Liking school is probably one of the motivating factors that got us here (though it’s not universally true). That being said, I really don’t know any senior who wants to start working who isn’t doing something they’re interested in. Admittedly, I don’t know too many seniors, but eh. Is it more difficult for a History or Classics concentrator to find a job? Possibly, but I don’t know if that’s less true for Physics or Biology concentrators who don’t want to do pre-med. Anytime you don’t constrain yourself into a single track (i.e. programming for a tech company), it’ll make finding things more difficult, but likely more rewarding as well.</p>
