You're climbing the ladder to success...and your kid is going to a nontarget.

"After much debate, the administration has decided to relabel the institution a 'non-target'. The status of our elite institution came into question when several students began trolling online finance forums. When students learned that other institutions were being visited by 5 BB's instead of our generous 4, they became enraged and wanted pity from online strangers. They then blamed the administration for not informing them beforehand that their institution was not elite enough to attract the attention of every major Wall St. firm. We sincerely apologize to these students whose hopes and dreams of being handed a job on Wall St. were crushed by pre-pubescent 12 year olds."

What shall be the resume line item for this 'project' ?

...or perhaps: "climbed four steps to market university services" ?

either way, Obama would be proud our kids are working.

Binders full of winners Mr. President.
