- The burning question is: do you -work- for the university?
-
- When I was a student, I worked as a student consultant. Since I
- worked for the university (Ohio State), I was able to very truthfully
- use OSU's huge computer and employment numbers in my MacWEEK
- subscription form. And since I was a consultant, talking to dozens of
- folks daily (giving recommendation on hardware, software, and other
- such), I could say that I had influence in buying decision. :-)
-
- Look at what you do from the -letter- of the law, not the spirit. And
- you may find that you look a lot more impressive than you think...
