WSO needs to separate professional and student posts

WSO has been a tremendous resource ever since I was in undergrad but the dilution of posts in the IB section is out of control now. Long gone are the days when you could actually learn something by visiting this forum.

There has to be a change. There needs to be a dedicated section where people who are actually in the industry can discuss things happening in the industry.

Then, you can have another section, hidden away, where high school students can ask whether to choose IU Kelley over Penn, college students can ask process / technical questions, and recent grads can get the important feedback of which mattress is worthy of an Incoming Investment Banking Analyst (verified by LinkedIn).

Don't really care how the high school / college kids respond to this. Just really hope something can be actioned.
