		<description>Yuliya,

Your opinion of on campus recruiting, most likely through no fault of your own, nevertheless belies a tragic but definite ignorance of the people who take part in it, and you cruelly belittle what is a stressful period in many young students lives. 

You also make absolutly no effort to try to understand why these hundreds (if not thousands) of kids undertake this very trying exercise, especially in a climate as difficult as this one. You also betray the high standard of (sometimes comic) journalism that The Spin adheres to.

I went through OCR. It was harrowng and testing, and I came out stronger. And I did not 'become' my job, either. 
At Penn, you do not need, at all, to miss out on life because you devote a month or two to OCR. I am in finance, I went to the College and I had a very full and varied life at Penn (and here in New York), and I take great issue with being painted with the broad stroke of 'drone', when there is much more to me, and much more to most of the people who go through OCR.

Next time you write about OCR and the drones from Wharton, you might want to talk to one of them and perhaps see why they want to do it, instead of coming out with what are in fact very harmful opinions. 
Of course, you have every right to have your opinions, but I would suggest you at least try and give reasons. You are a Penn student- please act like you deserve that title and use some reason, and good humour, when you write.
Sincerely,
Eric</description>
