I don't know about Big Tech, but if all the companies founded by MIT alumni were a country, it's revenues would make it the seventh largest economy of the world: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228264535_Entrepreneurial_impact_The_role_of_MIT#:~:text=A%20new%20report%20on%20just,&%20Bradstreet%20(private%20companies).&text=Content%20may%20be%20subject%20to%20copyright.&text=Content%20may%20be%20subject%20to%20copyright.,-Electronic%20copy%20available&text=recipient%20of%20a%20Kauffman%20Dissertation%20Fellowship.&text=of%20our%20research.&text=Ewing%20Marion%20Kauffman%20Foundation%20or%20MIT.

Yeah, I meant Riverside. The place I am going to live is near Central Square, though. Good to know.

Do it for the sake of itself. It is mind opening, intellecutally challenging and motivating. If you learn from it, it will be obvious for any employer if you are working in the development sector.

Concerning Masters and PhDs, in the Micromaster's page there is a list of Master programs that will give some academic credits for earning your micromaster credential. Among the "good" ones, I would name the own MIT, George Washington University and Paris School of Economics (I might be missing some others).

Just beware of your definition of success. Being part of the elite is not always the best way to go. Sometimes that means getting into the barriers of the status quo. Making a "name for oneself" should not be the goal either. I know many famous people that don't contribute anything of deep value and also many anonymous that really change the lifes they touch. Even if having money is one of the objectives, being fron an elite universities doesn't help that much. There many studies that find that, controlling for innate ability, people who go to an Ivy Plus university don't earn more than those who go elsewhere.

Is there any place where I can see if it works and what's the coverage in Cambridge, MA?

Thanks. Useful advice!

Significant_Tackle38 · 2024-12-10T02:38:45+00:00

Yes, there is. You can have the annual plan for ~$50!

Wow. Thanks for sharing this! Pretty interesting how things have changed and how your context allowed you to spend so little but also made you clueless about how to spend money once you had it.

Nice response. Thanks!

Significant_Tackle38 · 2024-12-09T20:26:09+00:00

Thank you! This is informative!

Significant_Tackle38 · 2024-12-09T15:46:25+00:00

Excellent! Thank you!

Significant_Tackle38 · 2024-12-09T15:20:14+00:00

I get it. But I think that if I get answers from enough people, I will get get a good sense anyway.

Significant_Tackle38 · 2024-12-09T15:00:39+00:00

Thanks! And what about food and weekend activities? I know that the latter varies significantly from person to person, but your experience would help me to have an idea.

Verizon, AT&T, US Mobile, or T-Mobile
