I’ll Second That

I’m just echoing James Fallows’ advice to go read this piece by Elliot Gerson.

From Oxford to Wall Street

”For more than a century Rhodes scholars have left Oxford with virtually any job available to them. For much of this time, they have overwhelmingly chosen paths in scholarship, teaching, writing, medicine, scientific research, law, the military and public service. They have reached the highest levels in virtually all fields.

In the 1980s, however, the pattern of career choices began to change.“
