MIT. PhD. M-o-n-e-y
Back when I was in college, there was a truism. Engineering programs were designed to make everyone fit in a square box- the original “we will make you equal” employer concept. Thankfully, that was true for all the disciplines except mine- Chemical Engineering.

Hurk. Ack.
The first day I went to Building 10 (that was the ChemE building at MIT), I rode my bike from what is now known as the Tang Residences [it was Westgate II when I was a grad student), my nose was overwhelmed. A sickly, sweet smell pervaded the air.
