I chose to take my first job in Texas over CA because of a girl. 

I don't think I would have made that kind of choice -- girlfriend vs. No. 1 college.  But hard to tell. I wouldn't have an honest to goodness girlfriend until four years after heading to The Farm. I was pretty happy to have one. 

No question that if I had had even a friend who would have gone to Harvard with me, I would let that be the tiebreaker. As it was, the tiebreaker for me was the weather vs. all the old dead dudes who had gone to Harvard.
