A recent career fair became the site of a crisis for senior Annemarie Brent, who was choosing between applying for positions at Teach For America and the local missile factory. “I’m really torn between my two greatest passions,” reported Brent, an Education and Missile Advancement double concentrator. “On the one hand, I can see myself helping third graders learn about nouns and verbs in Milwaukee on a $15k stipend, but who can put a price on educational reform? On the other hand I could be in a NYC penthouse for $170k making things go boom and honestly, do our children really need to know about verbs?” At press time Brent had decided to broaden her career horizons and was seen choosing between a center advocating for the rights of undocumented mothers, and Shell Oil.
