What do Harvard graduates do?

Harvard University is a top university in the world and an academic paradise that countless students dream of. There are countless bankers and excellent financial analysts among Harvard graduates. Many people think that with the golden signboard of Harvard University, they are also social white-collar workers. However, not all Harvard graduates are engaged in high-tech fields. Although many of them have entered the first-class big companies in the United States, many of them are middle school teachers or work in non-profit organizations.

Harvard University and other famous American universities are known as the cradle of cultivating social elites. However, enviable career and high income are not the ultimate goal of cultivating college students in first-class universities. Professor Garnard of Harvard University publicly appealed to graduates from famous American universities to give up high-income consulting and financial industries and enter low-income public service industries. Gardner believes that Ivy League schools have become a selection machine on Wall Street, and many outstanding students choose careers based on economic success, choosing money instead of ideals.

In order to attract talents, large American companies not only provide high salaries and generous benefits to graduates from prestigious schools, but also repay university loans for graduates. In view of this, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania and other famous American universities have also taken measures to set up public service scholarships and provide internship programs to encourage graduates to enter the public service industry. Some universities even offer college tuition loan exemptions or special scholarships to graduates who want to enter the public service industry.
