I am not the 99%

I suspect he or she didn't do well in math....because per their description they likely ARE in the 99% group mathematically.

In other words, he/she is not a victim. The attitude of that young person is what is important.

Actually, you won't even get an interview on campus with a GPA that low.

Really? Things have changed.

The top 1% in this country have an AGI of $380K or above (tax year 2008).

That attitude may guarantee him a life off the welfare rolls but it won't guarantee him 380K or up.

Of course there are no guarantees whatsoever that person will get into the 1%, an AGI of $380K is not necessary

to enjoy a good lifestyle.

I had a 3.76 and had plenty of interviews.

I bet.

You make money on the Street by getting into a good firm.

And that would be a challenge with a 3.8.

This thread is just filled with WIN.

30 hours a week making "barely above minimum wage" = NOT IN THE 99%

This IDIOT makes less than $250 a week...He is probably in the bottom .05%

I had a 3.76 and had plenty of interviews.

For mid-six figure jobs? Really?

When I graduated Goldman or Morgan Stanley would not even talk to you at 3.8. Yes, you get lots of interviews, but not the primo wall street firms.

Things haven't changed. A 3.8 might get you an entry level pee-on job with these firms if you are lucky and know someone that can pull some strings. But no six figures and no fast track to them either. Down here it's even worse. A lot of college grads are royally fcuked these days.

3.8 gets you into firms like Deloitte though. Not all that bad, but not the big wall street bucks.

So, that explains why the industry is full of no-life losers and kissasses.

Sorry, didn't realize you were referring to Wall Street Firms.

Yeah, sorta of a narrowed focus. I wonder what field that kid in studying for.
