How useful will Grant Fisher's Engineering degree be after he retires from Pro Running?

Finance is where its at bro super cush hours

Yes, newsflash, an engineering degree is a useful qualification for employment.

How much of what he learned do you think he’ll remember when he retires, 15+ years out of college and without any real world working engineering experience?

you don’t automatically get job offers just because you have an engineering degree

MBA and then consulting

What he got out of it is the “Stanford” name on his diploma. And now with his medal and a halfway decent GMAT score - even as a straight white (?) male - he should be able to get into weak M7, probably some of HSW as well

You think he just sits around camp all day doing band stretches? The guy recently got his masters, and also does some other things with it on the side. Stop being so effing negative.

Wall Street loves engineers...and Stanford. Especially ones with Olympic Medals.

This is the way. Maximum compensation, minimum responsibility.

Why was the post in this thread describing Grant Fisher's academic struggles in school deleted...?

He will design a new non-trip rail for tracks.

Depends on what type of engineering degree.

Some are highly sought after s d highly paid. Others are going the way of the stage coach, travel agencies, and the VHS tape.

He’s an Olympic medalist with a degree from Stanford. He can do almost anything he wants

Could probably start at entry level. But that might be tough after all his income and notoriety.

The question mark is well warranted, not that there's anything wrong with that.

White was because I’ve seen things here - though I’m not sure if they’re real - about him being part Mexican

his engineering degree is undoubtedly how he got a medal. Stayed on the curb the whole time, metronomic efficient form, probably calculated the exact optimal forward lean, stride length, stride angle, etc. Perfect job for an engineer.

When he retires from competition he can engineer other runners

Well, you also have no idea if he is straight, he's never said anything and I've never seen him with a significant other, male or female.
