[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20:40 never replied who got the job...but 10 to 1 its the H A R V A R D  grad.  [/quote]

when I interned at the White House, my supervisor let it slip that they refused to take Ivy students in their office.  They got a lot of attiitude from past interns who felt the work was "beneath them."  She was actually worried that I might be like that, as my school is generally considered to be just a step below the Ivies.  They were pleasantly surprised at how willing I was to do even the most boring of tasks with a smile on my face.

Don't be so sure about who got the job is all I am saying here...[/quote]

really? I wish that was the case....i see ivy grads taking 11-15 dollar/hour jobs at MLB and NBA teams, busting their ass, doing really mundane shit just to break into the league....I would imagine they would treat White House intern-work the same way....i.e. working their tails off because of the connections it'll give in the future? [/quote]

to be fair, I should have added that my internship was 15 years ago.  I do realize times have changed...hopefully the attitudes have changed, as well.

Based on this board, though - not so much.[/quote]
