Harvard Graduates Say They Got More Sleep Than Sex
Of the 1,600 or so graduates in Harvard University?s class of 2015, almost 20 percent said they cheated at some point, mostly ?on a problem set or homework assignment.? Thirteen percent said they had been taken to Harvard?s University Health Services or a hospital for something alcohol-related.
And 24 percent said they had no sex at Harvard.
The Harvard Crimson?s annual survey of graduating seniors offers a grab bag of insights, some less surprising than others. Based on the responses from students, the Crimson said those entering the workforce with computer-science degrees ?will earn substantially more than their peers in other fields, as will men compared to women, and students of East Asian descent compared to those in other racial groups.? Of those who said they will start at $110,000 or more, 47 percent majored in computer science. A large number of those entering consulting and finance predict they won?t still be in those fields in 10 years. Where might they be instead? Academia, government, ?entrepreneurship? and, most of all, health care.
Other findings just make you shake your head. The graduates reported a mean grade-point average of 3.64, or just shy of A-minus, which must mean that B is the new F. But that?s not for this group to worry about. As the Crimson writes, ?72 percent of senior respondents said that grade inflation at Harvard is not much of a problem or no problem at all.? That?s true. It?s really only a problem for graduate schools and employers that have to figure out which gaudy-GPA-toting Harvard applicants to accept and which to decline.
One more figure worth highlighting: ?Slightly more than one-third of the class reported getting fewer than seven hours of sleep per night on average.? So almost two-thirds of them slept more than seven hours a night, a luxury in the working world. By the time they become our bosses, they might be grumpy from not sleeping enough, especially if they?re sleeping alone.
