I still haven't gotten around to going to college, don't think I ever will, unless I get bored and someone wants to take a PhD candidate with no formal education. Currently, I build websites and educational software for WGBH.

My parents, step-mom, and godparents (all MIT grads) have each held a number of eclectic jobs, from comptational biologist, to technical writer, to human/machine interface in college admission offices, to webmaster, to landscaper, to politician, to managing large philanthropic organizations.

What strikes me, is that in each of those jobs all of them have excelled, and MIT played no small part in the matter.
