Mount St Joe's is a nice school.  It partly makes up for attending OSU 😉

I sometimes wonder what it would have been like going to a bigger state school for undergrad. I went to a catholic high school and my guidance counselor had me and my parents convinced that I needed to go to a private catholic school for the best chance of success.

All in all I don’t have any regrets. I started off at Marian in Indianapolis but transferred after a year. All good.

I went two years in Bloomington. Dropped out and worked a year. Went back to school elsewhere for engineering. Got a degree in Mech Eng.

A lot more yesses than I expected.

I'm surprised at most of the "No"s.

 

I'm not surprised by any of those that said no but I'm surprised by a couple of those that said yes and that they graduated. Have to wonder how they managed that. 😉

 

There was a time at the end of the 20th C. and the beginning of the 21st that IUB was...less academically stressful than it has been in other time periods. Graduation was not difficult.

I cherish my time at IUB, but if I had to do it all over again, I'd probably pick something different. A small school with a specialty in a field I was interested in, I think that would be the choice.

Where did you end up, from a sector or end market perspective?

Agriculture which was automated feeding systems, ventilation, manufacturing of such. Then into sales work, now in circuit boards.

I had an uncle who worked for Mix Mill for a long time. Familiar?

@unclemark Not much. Have seen the name around farms. We were not the same line, we conveyed from those big galvanized hoppper bins filled by the local mills.
