[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The students we know graduating from college have jobs in business, consulting, IB, and a few in engineering. Any more interesting new grad jobs that you know of?[/quote]

If you don't think that engineers and businesspeople have done an extraordinary amount that improved the lives of hundreds of millions of years (including curing cancer), you've missed the past 250 years of western history, and probably did not study that either.  The difference between them and the people whose primary intent is to save the world is that they have other intentions or objectives.  But ultimately, it is impact, not intention or purity of heart, that matters.

All we've seen over the last 30 years among youth is a proliferation of nonprofit efforts designed to save the world, all geared to boosting college admissions and premised on the unwillingness of parents to tell their kids about how the world and progress works. It's not surprising that these kids are now in their 30s and 40s  and wonder what the hell happened.  The answer is that a lot of them need to adjust their expectations about their own lives and realize that they spent a lot of time on things that will never have impact.[/quote]

Please use a different LLM or go back to school and take an English class. This gave me secondhand embarrassment to read.[/quote]
