Sakky, earlier you said something like "most MIT students aren't following their dreams."

Uh, really? When did I say that? Please point to the quote where I specifically said that.

Why? Why should they have to? What's wrong with giving them the option to stay and pursue a major that they can handle? It seems to me that you want to take options away from people.
Note, I am certainly not
requiring anybody to stay. Sure, if somebody wants to transfer out because they still want to pursue the major that they like (but in which they doing poorly in at MIT), they are free to do that. But I'm giving people
more options. Seems to me that you don't want people to have more options.
Look, if you don't care about the option of going to Sloan, that's one thing. But to say that other people shouldn't have the option of going to Sloan, that's something else entirely.

You keep arguing that people want to have food on the table. Um, yes. However, you don't need to go to college to get a job which pays enough to put food on the table. See above. Most people go to college to learn something. People like you apparently go to college so they can buy a more expensive high-status car to show off to their neighbors.
And finally, you keep saying all of these things like "clearly, almost everyone thinks x" and "obviously, nearly all students prefer y," and I would just like to know exactly where you learned telepathy.

Um, considering all of the words you've tried to put in my mouth and claiming that I made statements I never actually said, I could just as easily ask you where YOU learned telepathy? Again, when did I ever say that "most MIT students aren't following their dreams"? When did I ever say that "people... apparently go to college so they can buy a more expensive high-status car to show off to their neighbors."?
