...addition, firms have begun to take into account the wide variety of professional interests among students, particularly the desire to work for social good. For instance, JP Morgan allows its new analysts to defer employment for two years to participate in Teach For America (see “Those Who Can, Teach?” page 14).

And she didn’t just reach up to the teller window with her big brown eyes and her pink piggy bank full of pennies; she reached out with a child’s innocence and a lifetime’s savings of love. Unfortunately, D.A. took this love...
