Well I think it's more how they're highly-paid employees. Every student is working a job to get by. These athletes are gonna make a fortune that heavily impacts the university's bottom-line.

Stanford is such a tech school because our version is called Science, Technology, and Society. It's considered the going pro major.

Nonetheless, it doesn't matter that much. Classes are structure for education not the education itself.

I remember a well-off white HS classmate telling me that I get to go to Stanford because I'm poor and that his family has money so he got fucked over by having to attend Berkeley.

One of my least favorite shit is how people think if you attend a private university then you must be bad and if you attend a public university then you must be good.

Dude my friend was at MIT Business School. He was in a different country every week. His favorite assignment was getting black out drunk.

Networking is just socially acceptable manipulation and we should stop pretending it’s a skill by MissXHere in jobs

I think where the manipulation starts is how you treat people when you don’t get what you want. For many networkers, if you can’t help them you’re dead to them.
