When Marooned, Start A Fire
NP: Stereophonics, Language. Sex. Violence. Other?
You know, if every U of C student who thought the school was too hard lit a small fire, no one would care of it was Mrs. O'Leary's cow or Peg Leg Sullivan who set the first one, because it would be a matchstick by comparison.
If there are two things the U of C is known for, it's being a really tough school and not preparing you for a real job [1]. I'm not sure what got this chick all bent out of shape.
UPDATE: Chicagoist punned it much better than I did.
[1] And by that, I mean they don't prepare you for any one job in particular. One of the things I absolutely appreciate about my time there is that I felt I left prepared for any number of things, even if it looks like a competitive disadvantage against someone training specifically for a certain job. I'll take learning to think in the more general sense over that most days.
