Why they shouldn’t let me speak to prospective students…

Posted on March 1, 2008 @ 10:48 am

Random High Schooler: So, what kinds of grad programs and professional schools typically accept students from your department?

Me: Well, in the last year alone, we’ve placed two students with Barnum and Bailey, one with the Ringling Brothers, and another at DeVry.

<silence>

Me: Nah, I’m just yankin’ yer chain. The Ringling Brothers thing fell through at the last minute.

    I think they should make you the head of recruiting. I would have been like ‘Sign me up right now.’
