...in other [posts], such as your career comments, you're not exactly referencing the actual statistics, just reciting the cliche angry points that make it easy to simplify what you think Cornellians in certain schools are doing and how they view their school.
Okay, fair enough, here are some numbers.
Overall Cornell, class of 2009: 33 percent (that's 1 in 3 graduates surveyed) went into either financial services or consulting. Compare that to 23 percent total who went into the public sector.
School of Industrial and Labor Relations, most recent data: 18 percent went to law school (slightly lower than I expected). BUT, among those with jobs, 42 percent went into human resources and 31 percent went into financial services or some sort of business. Only 4 percent went into labor relations, and 4 percent worked for labor.
School of Hotel Administration, class of 2009: More students went into banking and financial services than the actual administration of a hotel or resort.
College of Human Ecology, most recent data: Of those accepting job offers, 42 percent went into business management.
I'm not going to take the time to go through the other colleges.
On the other hand, here's a cool feature on someone who's availing herself of what Cornell's specialty majors have to offer.
