Former Penn Student Jade Vixen

Because of some sad news (you know, a love triangle resulting in a murder-suicide and a kidnapping), the Philadelphia Inquirer and New York Post have reintroduced us to a former Penn student that Career Services has probably tried to forget.

Meet Edythe Maa, A.K.A. Jade Vixen, a top New York City dominatrix.

Maa is a former Penn engineering Ph.D. candidate. I’ll leave you to find out all of the salacious details of the tragic love triangle by clicking the above links on your own time, but this got me thinking about some other inspirational post-Penn career paths.

As someone desperately in need of direction in this crazy, crazy world of ours, I hope some of these Penn grads can serve as inspiration:
