Congratulations! Class Day and Commencement are behind you, and you are now alumni. But what do you want to do with the rest of your life? And how do you go about achieving it?

This page is meant to survey some common post-graduation life paths and goals, and tell you how to go about them, if you so choose.

Academia

Long nights in Butler failed to deter you, and you want to stay in the Ivory Tower? You'll need to start applying to MA and PhD programs...

Arts

Longing after the Platonic ideal of bohemia? Starve your way to the top...in the arts!

Business

One of the few fields in which CCE can actually help you out.

Investment banking

See main article: Investment banking

Law

Medicine

Research
