<p>I’m not saying I would do it (I didn’t), but I’m not here to judge people’s goals/aspirations, just give honest advice about Cornell. The “I approve” was more of a joke, but the only objectionable part of the post is the “hav [sic] sex with numerous women.” Assuming the sex is consensual, that’s not really a problem either. Again, not something I would do, but I don’t see any reason to discourage an exchange where both parties benefit, which theoretically happens in any (consensual) exchange of that nature. </p>
<p>Regarding going to a couple parties, I personally would recommend that. Just make sure you go with some of the new friends you made that first week to be safe. I think it’s a part of the college experience to at least give a few parties a try, even if they end up not being your thing (they really aren’t mine). </p>
<p>As for the money, I can’t deny the importance of money in life. While my personal career aspirations aren’t about money currently, I understand that in the future that could be important, especially depending on the circumstances my family. Don’t think I didn’t cover my bases with “Financial Economics” this past semester; you never know when I’ll change my goals from Peace Corps to Goldman Sachs investor. There is actually something to the idea that “money buys happiness” and I believe the reason psychologists found was the freedom of choice money afforded (you’ll have to look that up yourself though).</p>
<p>And while I don’t know the Cornell-specific data, for four year degrees, Computer Science and Economics are in the top. Getting a Masters in Engineering will earn you top dollar. Really, anything remotely science/math related has top earning potential, you just have to go after those careers. </p>
<p>Hit me up with any questions you may have about Economics since that is my major (as well as Government, but a Government degree isn’t worth a whole lot monetarily).</p>
