BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PUT ON FACEBOOK!!!

Yes, I was screaming in the headline. How can people be so stupid? and yet I see many of my own students doing the same thing.

From the NY Times:

"At Facebook, a popular social networking site, the executive found the candidate's Web page with this description of his interests: "smokin' blunts" (cigars hollowed out and stuffed with marijuana), shooting people and obsessive sex, all described in vivid slang.

It did not matter that the student was clearly posturing. He was done.

"A lot of it makes me think, what kind of judgment does this person have?" said the company's president, Brad Karsh. "Why are you allowing this to be viewed publicly, effectively, or semipublicly?""

You work so hard to get an interview and then blow it. Stupid.
