AND THEN WHAT?
PIGPILE! We all collapse in a dazed, ecstatic heap at midfield. Whoo! But really: something just as strange and even more wonderful happens. Roughly 40% of our seniors enter Ph.D. programs, typically with full fellowships. (No undergraduate college sends a higher percentage of its graduates into doctor- al programs. Think about it.) Roughly 60% of our seniors enter a professional field, with starting salaries averaging $65,000 to $70,000. The strange (and wonderful) part is, our graduates don’t follow a standard track. An engineer could become a film producer; a biologist could become a programmer for Netscape; a physicist could join the Peace Corps; a mathematician could pursue a Ph.D. in financial engineering at Princeton. They tend to be leaders, pioneers, visionaries. They make their own way.
OFFICE OF CAREER SERVICES A resource that will mean more to you with each passing day. You can use it as soon as you step on campus—to find summer jobs or internships, to think about study abroad opportunities,
to sit down with a friendly, trained professional to talk sense about your future. The office offers individual career counseling, an extensive library of print and online resources, and workshops about résumés and inter- views, skills development and self-assessment, job searches and graduate school selection. At Career Services’ seminars, you can meet HMC alumni and get a ground-level view of the world after Mudd. The office also coordinates on-campus interviews and career fairs and—this is impor- tant—keeps listings of resources available at the other Claremont Colleges. So, as always, your options keep expanding. ...........................................................................................................................................
