nothing surprising here
it's 15, not 21. learn to read.
Only 15% are going into finance. Brutal economy, and finance has lost its luster among the nation's best and brightest. Tech and startups are the hot thing at Harvard.
Harvard grads can have all the back office jobs on Wal Street that they want - I'm shooting for Wall Street.
Lol, when I read the title I thought it said Wal-Mart at first.
Honest mistakes. Corrected.
Still down from 47% in 2007, hahaha.
Not really surprising given the environment and the fact we are in the beginning of a tech bubble where any one with a little know how can hack out some half bit program and sell it to a big tech firm for tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars.
That's really misleading. The percentage of those people who actually make big money off of their ideas is very small.
It's not the lottery. You make your own chances.
