The California Institute of Technology

Major: Mechanical Engineering (This Major's Salary over time)
The most important thing that Caltech taught me was a solid work ethic, good problem solving algorithms, and an understanding of my own limits (which aren't as much as I thought they were!)

After the extraordinary challenge of classes at Caltech (what other place is going to require every single student to take quantum physics and linear algebra?) the rest of life has been a breeze… granted, I have only been out for 5 years, but those 5 years have included graduate work at MIT, working at a small engineering company that faced extreme funding issues, and getting married, amongst other things. I feel like after having finished Caltech, I can take on pretty much whatever I want.
