So there’s a blog out there that claims to give the MIT Alumni Perspective on the world, or something. It’s called Slice of MIT, and I’ve run across it before but didn’t really find it interesting, so I don’t follow it.
But I am a member of the MIT Alumni group on LinkedIn, so I get daily updates about group activity. Apparently someone posted a recent Slice of MIT blog entry to the group page. It was titled Need a Job? so I clicked through to the page, assuming it would be useful to me. Turns out it was only a boring news piece about the career fair that happened last week. But not only that, this is how the entry begins:
It’s a known fact that most students that graduate from MIT jump right into respectable careers, and for good reason! A one-of-a-kind education, opportunities to conduct research in world class labs, and several other reasons make MIT a breeding pool for career-ready individuals.
Oh, just rub it in, why don’t you?
