Date: Nov 07 2003 Major: (This Major's Salary over time) UC Berkeley is a great school with a lot of opportunities, but you really have to be the kind of person willing to go out and make it happen. For many it is sink or swim. I personally ended up swimming, and it has changed my life for the better.
I think that as good an experience as I had at UC Berkeley there was no concern placed on transitioning out immediately into the "real world" (other than the sink or swim experience gained). But I feel that this is probably true across the board at all colleges. It is the state of university level education in our country.
