Funny I just wrote a big yada, yada on this in a different thread.
1 - a surprisingly large percentage of the population has no idea what Goldman or McKinsey, is and what a job at these or similar firms does to your lifelong earning potential (and possibly career satisfaction).
2 - that said, if you go to NAU and achieve a GPA of 3.7 or better, have a 4 year athletic career, and even fool around for a few years as a pro runner, you could then easily get into a top MBA program and gain entrance into this kind of firm. A high undergraduate GPA and 4 years of D1 sports, is highly valued by the best grad schools and firms.
3 - if a Stanford grad with any major can't get a real job, that's due either to lack of effort, or not being willing to consider basic jobs in industry. It's just assumed (maybe occasionally incorrectly) that any Stanford grad (or other top 50 US college) had at least a 700 math sat in high school, and can be trained to do almost any corporate management job.
So yes NAU can be a great choice, but understand the benefits of the top schools and the tradeoff you make.
