Great article on why Harvard kids go to work to Wall Street and not public service jobs.

Short story..not money or work.
It’s – the process is straight-forward and easy. Here’s a quote “it is simply easier to get a corporate firm job than any other job. By contrast, it’s hard to get a public interest job.”
Another quote – “As Ezra Klein points out–it’s not always about the money, it’s often
about how easy it is to get a job. The program at UVA law that forgave
loans in exchange for working in public service did nothing to help
students get a job in public service. It was just a loan forgiveness
program.
