You are so wacky. Go outside. Oh wait, it’s too cold. Go drink beer or ice fish or whatever else miserable Rust Belt MAGA people do.


Lol get a Canada Goose parka. You’ll be fine.

Wow, that’s a great outcome. Do you still live in Rochester?

Love to hear that. What was your major(s)?



B.S./M.S. Electrical and Computer Engineering
M.B.A. Simon School of Business
M.D./Ph.D. Biomedical Engineering

Full merit scholarship for undergraduate. Full research fellowships for all graduate degrees. Out of pocket cost for degrees was mostly limited to books and mandatory fees: $25K over 10 years.

Starting salary as a 29 year old pharmaceutical R&D executive (same company that sponsored my M.B.A. and BME fellowship): $550K. Great ROI and a job I absolutely love.


I’m a Pharmaceutical Nanotechnologist, in case you were wondering….

It’s waaaaay too expensive for what it is (mediocre mid tier school).

The actual Rochester campus feels set apart or sequestered from the city neighborhoods. I’m surprised anyone would be concerned about safety. The neighborhoods it’s close to aren’t that bad anyway.

I’m trying to figure out how you can get all those degrees in 10 years.

I don’t think, with that many years of education, that your career can be described as having “skyrocketed.” Sounds more like the grind of a slow-moving elevator.

This exists on most college campuses. And I've found that the ones who have what appear to be "lower numbers" are usually that way because they hide stats, encourage kids not to report or to not report to actual police (often campus "police" are only security and not official police officers). You have to prepare your kids (both male and female) for fact that there will be issues like this on college campuses

Apparently not, according to our counselor. Which is sad, because the kid really liked the school (Kid was female, father apparently over protective, first kid in college, etc).

With this generation, helicopter parents (or snowplow parents if you prefer) treat their teenage kids like they are incapable of making their own decisions
