Harvard University

Date: Sep 03 2004
Major: Economics (This Major's Salary over time)
I've applied for 50 to 55 jobs so far in the field I want to work, and I can't land a good job. Harvard's career services wasn't helpful when I was a student there, and now, even the Harvard name doesn't seem to do anything for me. In fact, being there might have put me at a disadvantage, as I was drowning in school work and personal misery all of the time and didn't even have a minute to think about a direction for my life or a job.

Harvard was a waste of time and money. It hasn't helped me. I'm really disappointed with the direction I've taken my life, ever since I entered Harvard four years ago, and with the way things are going. I'm working really hard and keeping all options open, and I just can't understand what the big deal about Harvard is - if it's gotten me absolutely nothing. Choose a more fun and personally supportive school.
