Adults mocking college-bound teenagers on social media is generally frowned upon in our society- just ask Laura Ingraham

For the record:

Your post was not only uninformed, but pretentious - in all senses of the word.

The notion of a “local yokel” does not exist in the mind of a global thinker - so its use tends to be self incriminating.

The notion that a career is tied to a sense of physical place rather than a sense of acquired knowledge is a 20th century concept. Clinging to that notion will be a mental handicap in an increasingly virtual and global economy.

If you want to make a financial analogy, then the CEO of the largest bank in America went to college in Medford - not New York. He went to grad school four and a half miles up the street Boston.

In the field of IR, the Diplomat in Residence for the New England Region resides in Medford - on the Tufts campus.

Diplomats in Residence (DIRs) are career Foreign Service Officers and Specialists located throughout the U.S. who provide guidance and advice on careers, internships, and fellowships to students and professionals in the communities they serve. Diplomats in Residence represent 16 population-based regions that encompass the United States. These Foreign Service officials have roles similar to those of corporate or collegiate recruiters: traveling in an assigned region, planning recruitment events, and acting as a resource for anyone interested in a career with the United States Department of State.[1]
