Yeah... but it woulda been worse for me 'cuz I was accepted to GMI. So in addition to "flint" it would also have been 5 years with no vacations and an 85/15 male-female ratio. Not only that, all their internships were in - wait for it - Detroit.

I knew it would have been grim but Roger and Me pushed me off the precipice.

The flip side of that is GMI (now known as Kettering, and where I assumed you were talking about, because, well, no one goes to UM Flint from anywhere but locally) is a fantastic school if you want to do automotive engineering. I know several people who went there; none had a college experience they raved about, but all landed fantastic jobs. I have no idea if they have any pull outside the industry, however.

Yeah, that was the tricky part: and at the time, I wanted to do automotive engineering.

All in all, it ended up a bridge too far.
