#3What does one do with a sociology degree, even one from Harvard?

Pretty much anything.
Degree doesn't matter as much as people think. Institutions matter more IMO.

I forgot about this path, you're right. A friend of a friend graduated from Penn with a degree in some fairly specific humanities field. English Comp or something like that (the point is that it was much more specific than "Psychology" or something). He worked at the school for a brief time, maybe a year, then got a graduate degree then went to Wall Street.

#10Even being a poor grad student at an Ivy feels like this. The undergrads are wealthy and the grad students cherish every dollar of their ~$30k salary while still sometimes do side work to get by since city's have rents set for the higher income undergrads.
There was some resentment we had for our students to say the least.
