[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP all I can say is do it soon. The SJW thing at LACs is not helpful unless you want to: teach in under privileged area, work fir a non profit, or don’t need to work at all. [/quote]

By all means, let's take college selection advice from the poster who can't write a coherent English sentence.

Are you in DC for the MAGA coup attempt?[/quote]

I'm the founder/owner of a tech company.  Because of connections I made years ago when I was part of a startup CEO networking group, my social media feeds include many of my CEO peers, including many whose firms have grown much larger in the years since we met.  I keep my (extremely liberal) politics out of all my professional interactions, but many of my peers do not.  The number of tech CEOs who are extremely concerned with social issues, looking to meaningfully support diversity and extremely supportive of social justice activism is quite surprising even to me, a die hard liberal.  Many of these folks issued statements yesterday paralelling the National Association of Manufacturers, who called for the 25th to be invoked.  Moreover, there is a great deal of awareness that top tech talent is increasingly social justice focused (just look at what's been going on with Google and Timnit Gebru).

My technology work also brings me in contact with people in the renewable energy industry, and the same concerns apply there.

Hell, investors at Exxon Mobil are in revolt due to the company's insufficient commitment to confronting climate change.

PP above deriding "the SJW thing at LACs" is absolutely out of touch with the business climate in the industries that will dominate the future.
