Over the last few months I’ve found myself on more than a few occasions
feeling somewhat
inferior less superior
due to the fact that I didn’t go to a “good school”.
I don’t regret anything, per say, as I am more than ecstatic about where I
am in terms of my career, and my life in general. It’s just that I think it
would have been really cool to start college at 18 and finish at 22, and
more importantly — at a badass school.
Just for the record, here are the three that I’d like to have gone to:
Cal Tech
U.C. Berkeley
Cal State Hayward
[ NOTE: Reading this in 2015 my schools would have been Stanford, Berkeley,
and then Caltech. It would have been nice to go straight from high school to
Stanford, but looking back I just don’t see how it would have been possible.
I can dream of being associated with Stanford in the future through
non-standard means, however. And that is my goal. ]
Each of these three schools are particularly special for me, and each for
different reasons. So anyway, yeah…if I had it to do over again…
There’s still hope for me I suppose; I could always do an advanced degree at
a really nice institution. Perhaps not one of these three, but a nice one
nonetheless.
