    I would be interested to see this list from the year I graduated from college, 1972, I bet more than a few of the top ten preferences are gone or ghosts of their former self ie, Polaroid a terrific technology once…

    HRGREEN: Great point, I wonder if such lists exist for the 50s, 60s, 70s, etc. — they’d be fascinating. Xerox was also a sexy company in 1972, no?

    Google wasn’t around when I graduated from college in 1992. ;-) And I’m happy to see that half the undergraduates’ choices are “idealistic” ones (assuming that the State Dep’t, CIA, and FBI are forces of good, lol).
