5 Questions...
After reading the most "Stay In School" posts I've ever seen in a Slashdot or Kuro5hin "Should I Get A Job Or Go To College" thread in
System Administrators - College or Career?
, I thought this was a clear indicator that the IT industry was still in the doldrums. But are things really
this bad
?
So since MSFT execs have admitted
NetDocs was a failure
, I can ask "How would you have felt coming into a summer internship only to find out the project was axed just before you got there?".
This happened to a bunch of NetDocs interns I knew of, its kinda depressing when even your
mentor
isn't sure what his job is any more let alone guide you with yours. At least it isn't as bad as a bunch of other companies (which will remain unamed) where people were given firing bonuses before they even arrived.
What would you do if your mom
literally flushed $US1.38 billion down the drain
?
Parents blame MIT for student's suicide
but aren't they really to blame for raising their child in a manner that tied her notion of self worth with academic achievement then sending her to a school where competition would be stiff and academic achievement would not be guaranteed?
Have you ever been at
The CrossRoads
?
