The number of Harvard College’s graduating seniors going to work on Wall Street increased to 15 percent this year from 9 percent last year, according to an annual survey.
Even with the increase, the figure is still down from before the global credit crisis when, in 2007, 47 percent of the graduating class said it was taking jobs in finance, the Harvard Crimson reported yesterday. The student newspaper’s survey of 780 students -- almost half the graduating class -- took place May 11 to May 21 and included questions about drinking and drug use and cheating on exams.
