  1. As others have alluded to...it’s a self selecting population. In my experience (business schools) a lot of ivy leaguers have an inherent competitiveness that they carry over from academia to business. I’ve worked with/for/managed great ivy grads and I’ve worked with/managed poor ivy grads...just like any other school. However, unless that person was gifted a legacy admission, they all had some internal drive to succeed. Additionally one of the worst employees I ever had was a Wharton grad(MBA.) The worst kind of employee is one that drags their co-workers performance down and this person was the bow anchor of the titanic. One of those people that knew everything to the detriment of those around them and the overall business. Took me a year to get them “promoted” to a different division. Which to use a football analogy for people like the one I’m referencing, having an Ivy League degree can be a former 1st round pick that hasn’t quite lived up to expectations. There’s a team out there willing to take a shot on them turning it around. In my experience it will at a minimum get them through the application filters and usually an interview at the least. Finally, I have a post-grad from GaTech and have earned 12 graduate credits from Harvard. Tech was way more challenging. Not completely apples to apples, but I still have nightmares about late/missing assignments at Tech.
  2. Maybe it’s time to vote Johnny Knoxville into Predictive Moviemakers Hall of Fame. We’ll need to relocate the Mike Judge Idiocracy exhibit.
  3. It’s actually entertaining once you realize he’s just trying to get to the top of the hill
  4. Those water bottles and coasters didn’t put themselves there!
  5. Sherpa and yourself would know better, but I would imagine that the distance between the engines on a 14 would exacerbate the situation compared to another twin engine fighter where the engines are next to each other (15/18) sherpa, I had read something along the lines that in order to keep the F-14 moving in a somewhat straight direction on one engine, the pilot almost had to go full rudder to compensate. Is that true?
  6. Dig Dug? Don’t insult our neighbors to the south. Mr Do was way better
  7. Somebody get Dan Brown on the horn!
  8. There’s a guy on the list above who’s 84!
  9. W....T....F I hope this person uses two forms of birth control
  10. Hard to find good help these days, even for terrorists
  11. Authentic Frontier Gibberish? i actually already used this in the OTW thread
  12. I can see the Commercial already “Contact your doctor today to find out if you have CGT....”
  13. I’d actually pay to watch that. Must see TV
  14. This is what happens when ex-journalists are reduced to coding. Clones aren’t what they used to be.
  15. The ol’ double-down defense
  16. Economists already have the answer. The math is a means to an end. Although in her case, it appears we’re skipping the targeted math part all together.
  17. Did he really compare Trump to Sun Tzu? Great story....I’ll still have to reserve judgment till the movie comes out. ?
  18. And devaluing that degree for the rest of the student population every time she opens her mouth.
  19. Yes, because the jobs in the fulfillment center will generate the same amount of tax revenue as HQ jobs. (Per article)
  20. I think we’re all guesstimating on the visa situation here, but if she applied for an extension in January, no way they process it in a month. I have an employee on a STEM exemption, which already has an allowable extension and that took 5 months for approval from the time we submitted it. That’s 5 months for an extension that goes 24 months.
  21. Market ***** the bed in December. People were worried about recession. Tightens the purse strings a bit (my opinion)
