Major: (This Major's Salary over time)
MIT provides a great education in problem solving. When I graduated I remember thinking that I hadn't learned anything, and was doomed. However, after the first two weeks at work I discovered that I was a 99th percentile general problem solver. The "social education" was not all that bad. I made many friends with whom I still stay in touch, and learned my first lessons in dealing with difficult people (students AND faculty). In the 60's at least, MIT was a "do it yourself" kind of place with no in loco parentis stuff. It was sometimes painful, but I'm glad I did it. I'm sorry there weren't more women attending when I was there. I did go on to grad school at MIT and then to Harvard Law. The MIT prep was fine for law school, too.
