I guess it was an incomplete story....The MIT grads that were fired were over the years....and not in the last couple months. At any rate they were fired because they could not perform...Bad engineer. The NHTI grads did not start out as engineers...but worked their way up and continued their educations. They are not an apples to apples comparison...but still relevant. We have not fired or layed off any engineer due to the downturn.
