Students all have debts.

When reality hits that these debts need to be paid, principles go out the window.

I don’t blame anyone for this. In the end you have to look after number one. It’s just sad this is the reality.

It's hard to infer any conclusion from those numbers because we don't know how many people refused to interview and never received an offer.

Facebook pays REALLY well. That's a big deal fresh out of school too. Not all of us have the luxury of turning down a giant paycheck.

"Principles have no real force except when one is well fed."

-Mark Twain

I like to think it would be different, but I guess I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't any different.

Not likely I'll ever have to consider that problem so I'll remain morally confidant... if only due to circumstance ;)
