| I don't know that I'm actually adding anything here, but I want to add my agreement with Laura that I'm following my dreams -- since about sixth grade, I haven't wanted to be anything other than a scientist. And here I am in graduate school with my MIT degree, making probably half (a third?) what I could be making in consulting.
But I have zero interest in doing consulting, or anything else that would make me more money, because the only thing I've ever wanted to do is become a scientist. If somebody told me I wasn't allowed to become a scientist, or if my thesis lab went belly-up, I would take my MIT and Harvard degrees and become a zookeeper.
To answer the question in the original post, I truly can't think of anything significant I disliked at MIT, except that there were only 24 hours in the day and there was so much more I wanted to do. Wait, I take that back: I disliked the freshmen on campus policy. |
