>lol @ boomer yale NYC frat boys talking deleuze
You sound deleuzional user :)
Is the first job REALLY that important? That's the only one I heard GPA matters for, but you're making it sounds like it determines the rest of your life....
Perhaps a bit exgaggerated to rustle some jimmies, but this isn't any LARP user. I really am in this dire and perplexing situation.
Why would anyone attend an Ivy League school and not network? The professional networking opportunities you get from a school like Yale are one of the main reasons to attend.
>not network
I didn't know how to. I made a bunch of friends and went to events, but I never followed up with any. How can I recover?
Join the military and become an officer. It's too late for ROTC but you can go the OCS route.
A prestigious Ivy-league degree basically just tells employers that you're academically smart. At the end of the day, though, that's still only one half of the equation. Employers also need to be able to like you, and based on your replies in this thread, you come off as an entitled asshat that future coworkers would generally try to avoid in the workplace. Humble yourself, come to realize that these "boomer" employers who went to lower tier schools than you are actually a lot better than you, and always maintain a hunger to learn and better your craft.
Aside from that, check out career services. The Yale alumni network is strong (I have a few friends that got their MBA's at SOM) so I would start there if you're trying to get your foot in the door of a big name company. The rest will be up to you.
Finally, I would only join the Yale NYC club if you're trying to make new friends. I joined the Penn Club for the same reason, and it helped me come out of my shell and get better at talking to people. As a bonus, you'll find people who have similar interests, and potentially find people to just hangout with. These ivy league clubs in NYC are first a foremost a social club.
>2.8 GPA
