Kry there is a difference between people "interested" and people dedicated to making it their career. There are tons of people in our energy club, but a lot of them end up in consulting and finance. While someone in Goldmans energy group do work in energy, I don't view it the same way. I wasn't saying anything negative about Haas at all, just pointing out that true corporate energy jobs are a very small part of a school's placement. Berkely may have a great percentage (never said they didnt), but its still going to be small.
You guys probably do have strong placement compared to most schools since the bay area is pretty active with energy these days...Plus you have a great engineering program, which I think helps since those feed far more students into energy fields than any MBA program does.

wow kryzak, that was some mighty fine research. Haas is lucky to have you repping the school so well. River, thanks for the insight to Kellogg. That was a great write-up!. I get your point about being interested in Energy and actually doing it, I was just thinking of it from the point of having those initiatives will at least stimulate you intellectually/academically, which IMO could be helpful. Though I don't disagree that those aren't essential to breaking into the field.
Of the schools I've researched, it seems that Ross(/Erb), Haas, Texas seem to have most energy focus.

River, I understand what you're saying. Just the way you said it ("let's be honest..") was a little bit... let's say, "strong".
I agree that there is definitely a lot more interest than people doing it, and that compared to high-tech companies, consulting, and other careers, it's a relatively small percentage. But what I hope I illustrated was that a relative good number (relative to most schools out there) of people actually do their internships and FT positions in energy.
We're probably saying the same thing, just interpreting it differently. But yes, the engineering school, law school, and public policy schools here, combined with Haas is what makes our energy collaborative so strong and produce so many exciting new products that eventually turn into startups. No question about that!
to others: glad my research was useful!
