This article has a few weak points. First of all, not everyone at Harvard is going to law school or pursuing law in any manner (including graduate students there). Of my friends who attended Harvard, surely some have moved into the finance field but I think part of it is that it is one of the few fields that can (and will) compensate and challenge them properly. Others have gone to work for Google and Microsoft. Others have gone into consulting firms and others have struck out on their own and ran their own consulting firms and companies. By no means is it a clear pipeline that funnels everyone over. From MIT I see a lot of people going into defense related areas, and not Wall St (more so than Harvard). And while some Harvard (or any) undergraduate students have little experience at 'life' or getting things done, just look at last weekend's ROFLCon for an example of what a handful of recent Harvard undergrads can do in their spare time.
