Tom graduated from MIT (some branch of engineering, IIRC), then went on to get his MBA, and a PhD in business.

Yup, and they warned me not to follow in their footsteps. I didn't listen, though.

Looks like I need to expand on that a bit. Nowadays we say "Tech is Hell" but it was even worse back in their day and they had a lot of stories about their experience that, them being them, were both hilarious and awful. I ignored their advice because, hey, don't get a teenage boy to not do something by telling him it's hard.
