As spring internships start, we here at Bwog have realized that knowing exactly where Odysseus went, the intricacies of a Hobbesian state of nature, and the proxies involved in fMRIs aren’t very useful in a real workplace.
With that in mind, we have compiled a list of classes the Core should teach in order to maximize our immediate efficacy in our careers.
- Introduction to Scanning

@CC '13 “How to Make Friends” (for those of you all who were raised by wolves)

@Anonymous “How much cleavage is the right amount”
RAPE CULTURE!
@Anonymouse The author of this article needs to check his privilege!
@Anonymous Hey, men want to know what is the right amount of cleavage to show, too! Check your privilege!
@no... this is not rape culture…cleavage is an art form and must be perfected in the workplace.
@Butt cleavage is important too!
@CC-Alum Please add:
Printer 101 – How to fix paper jams and how to refill paper / toner
Social Finance – How to work and be productive with a massive hangover
@Alum My workplace is an fmri research lab, so it’s pretty darn useful for some people. Different type of intro to scanning needed, though.
@Anonymous Surpise yourself by reading a book written by a buddy of the Core’s architect, Nicholas Murray Butler, who tried to summarize the core into one little book for the masses. Really surprise yourself when you realize it is Dale Carnegies “How to Win Friends and Influence People”. I am not kidding you!
@jim s. fuk u for writing this. this is so dumb i hate ur guts bwog
@Too Late Re: V118, The Corporate Core
@118 CORPORATE CORE FOREVER!
