Remember how once upon a time there was this thing called Investment Banking that would basically employ anyone with a Princeton diploma?  Not so much, anymore.

But listen up, luckless seniors: What if I were to tell you that there’s a profitable industry still willing to hire you just for your Ivy degree?  You’d be interested, right?

Of course you’d be interested.  So here it is: Reality TV.

Seriously.  The work is interesting, the pay is good (starting salaries up to $1 million!), and – most importantly – you WILL get hired.  Guaranteed.

To be honest, I’m a little surprised that job-search-savvy Princetonians haven’t figured this out yet.  Let me break it down for you: Reality Television casting is all about stereotypes.  The Jock.  The Gay Guy. The Blonde. The Country Boy.  The Grumpy Old Man.  The Token.  The Femme Fatale.  And – most prized of all, and most elusive – the Ivy Leaguer.

Nowadays, casting directors easily fill most of these slots by scouting out sketchy bars in LA.  But attracting top talent from the Ancient Eight has proven more difficult.  For some reason, most Ivy graduates see work in this field as “trashy” and “beneath them.”  Their loss is your gain.

I promise you: If you’re reading this post, you already have what it takes to land a spot on one of these shows.  Over the next couple of days, I’ll tell you exactly how to do it.  Stay tuned – your future depends on this.
