Default Graduating without a plan

So I have 2 months left before I graduate from Princeton. Ive got about a 3.2 as a varsity athlete and my major is politics.

Problem is that I have no idea what to do with myself next year. Any suggestions? Salary is a consideration but not a major one.

NY Times man is not be but is in fact my best friend. I wish I had as much money as him because then I wouldnt be at all worried about what to do. To answer one poster's question, I played golf here.

Say I want to look into getting a finance job- what do I do and who do I talk to? How about working at a law firm? My parents would disown me if I played poker.

Nothing like waiting until the last minute and then thinking you'll "look into" something you're not qualified for. Wtf is wrong with people?

A Princeton grad with any major is more qualified than most finance majors for a finance position, and Im sure he could apply and get one. School name goes a long way.

Bc he knows people who will hire him based on his being friends with their children..../????

In no other way is a VERY MEDIOCRE Ivey league grad with degree in an unrealted field that isnt remotely mathematical qualified to work in finance.

BTW is Princeton is like Harvard a 3.2 is pretty darn low.

The Ivey league is rife with grade inflation these days.

I guarantee you Princeton has a career services office you can go to and ask these questions. There are places you can go to ask these questions, and 2+2 isn't quite as good at getting your foot in the door with a law firm or I-bank as Princeton is.
