MIT students generally have very high IQs - their ability to translate that to real life skills is highly variable.

I’ve had a number work for me - a few are really, really great - most have significant trouble getting past their high opinion of themselves, and too little practical experience as workers to be useful contributors. Their communications skills (writing and speaking) also tend to be weaker than the graduates of the state universities that have worked for me.

The stories he tells about some of his classmates are sidesplittingly funny.
