Perspectives: Uber
Here in Boston, Uber has slowly (but surely!) become the transportation method of choice. In my freshman year, I had never heard of it. After hearing about it for the first time, I was skeptical. Time went on — I tried Uber for the first time, was satisfied, then continued using their services. Now, nearly everyone I know here at school is comfortable using it, some even calling one on a semi-regular basis.
Hearing about Uber’s most recent round of funding made me sit down and think about their services and the role they have played in my life so far. As one of my friends likes to summarize, “Uber wants to turn cars into a service.” But how far off is this goal?
Sushi, Wine, and Unexpected Inspiration
This has been the summer of personal development. As I wrote about previously, seeing my close friends graduate last May hit me like a ton of bricks, and watching many of them struggle through the job search put me into panic mode. I’m an engineering major, I thought, but I don’t want to go into engineering. What do I do? How do I expand my boundaries?
