I'm not too concerned anymore that I won't be able to attend any of the events at this weekend's "Real World" program. It appears the function of the weekend is to network with alumni. They've got a wide range of people available for networking, including about 60 who hold stereotypical Colgate-grad corporate jobs, two elementary school teachers, and one guy who does graphics for magazines and newspapers. So out of all the folks they found, only one holds a job of interest to me, and I'm not actually qualified to pursue that interest, so networking with him would be useless.
