Pretty crazy that we're closer to 2030, than we are 2005. Where did the time go!

What if somebody doesn't want a technical education?MIT is a university; it isn't a tech school. A "technical school" is something like ITT Tech.MIT is renowned for its excellence in all/most fields of engineering, but it has exceptional programs in other areas. Most of the professors are Nobel Prize laureates.
Yes, definitely. But it depends on the type of knowledge you want. Isn't MIT a technical school? What if somebody doesn't want a technical education?
So if you wanted to do religious studies/philosophy/archeology or something like that, wouldn't you be better off going to a school that specializes in your chosen field, not in engineering?

I'm not saying MIT is the best choice for every field of study, but I am saying anyone who is accepted with such a scholarship and denies it to go to some bible college is probably lying.
I admit that applying for MIT and then going somewhere else would be weird, for sure. But it's fully possible that somebody, though they excel in the fields that MIT is looking for, isn't interested in pursuing them professionally.
