    Dozens

    the local news outlet SFGate estimated it was as many as 200

    No mention of how many people are graduating

    Reee it’s difficult to estimate how big of a deal this was if the total number of participants isn’t mentioned.

    stanford is one of those schools that do produce elitists, but less so than places like harvard or yale he speaks to wrong crowd, much jerry seinfeld did at darthmouth.

    Their ego is disgusting, every time they open their mouths they are met with disdain and they still don’t get it.

      Because this diverges from their day to day and how everyone else treats them. “Surely these students are the ones that are wrong”.

        I recently read Sarah Wynn-Williams’ book about working at Facebork. Among many other revelations (like, her boss pressuring her to describe the blood coming out of her vagina from a post-birth hemorrhage - something so awful I wonder why in the hell I’m even telling this other story) she said everybody there constantly let Zuckerberg win board games. So in addition to everything else wrong with him, that pale-to-the-point-of-translucent tiny man gets to think he’s amazingly good at board games.

        To her credit, Wynn-Williams kicked the shit out of him at Settlers of Cataan and then even pointed out to him where he fucked up.

      They don’t need to. They’re still making more each year than you or I will make in our entire lives.

      Many of these schools forbid stuff like this and will withhold diplomas and such. This i think it’s far more effective. Hey up and walk the fuck out everyone sees you and sees them.

            They’re still doing better than a lot of fields. I mean when you factor in compensation it’s still one of the best fields to be in. Compare to a teacher, where you’ll need a master’s degree in most states and then you can expect a salary around 40k. Whereas with software, when you do find a job it’s not unusual to start over 100k. But if you were willing to work for half that, I bet you’d find something quick.

              Plenty have given up after graduating and being on the job search for 2 or 3 years.

              At least as a plumber or electrician you can actually still get a job.
