She bought her first computer in college, where she was studying to be a pediatric neurosurgeon, then switched to a unique mix of courses only offered at Stanford: symbolic systems — a blend of psychology, linguistics, philosophy, and computer science.

Until this kind of educational system "takes hold" pervasively in India, it will continue to be code-collie centric run of the mill Sweat shop for the "front world"

Uppili,

You missed the real point as to why she switched major.

Frustrated with how much more she was paying to take the same courses and memorize the same chemistry facts as her peers attending less expensive colleges in her home state, Wisconsin, Mayer switched to a major that would let her take advantage of courses and faculty only offered at Stanford: symbolic systems, a blend of psychology, linguistics, philosophy and computer science.

===> Intro to Organic Chemistry at Stanford is not going to be different from that offered by Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison.

The other POV from a goole insider.

Read the comment by Googler Tired of the Marissa H

http://techcrunch.com/2009/11/06/marissa-mayer-gets-a-little-love-from-glamour-magazine/

You will find that while she is bright, she is a bully and a tyrant that is just plain mean. Her carefully crafted image, assisted by PR handlers paid by shareholders to further it, creates empty admiration from those that don't really know her, but many of those that have worked with her are truly suffering and can't wait to vest and get out. She's smart, a great presenter and nice and charming to industry pundits, the media, and other outsiders, but she's quite a different person to the people's lives she's affecting.

I'd also add that while others have used the Steve Jobs-is-also-an-asshole justifcation for her behavior at Google, unlike Marissa he's a real company founder that has continuously innovated market-leading new products over several decades - not someone who latched onto an already successful innovation after it was conceived. Other than search, Google hasn't really had that many (any?) runaway product successes that she has created. In fact, quite the opposite. For example, her failure to create a Google Video product that users loved meant that Google had to pay hundreds of millions for YouTube. The good stuff from Google comes from others that aren't subject to her regime. At Apple, Steve Jobs and his team create new markets and products people love. Marissa Mayer is no Steve Jobs, not even close.

1) I was referring to the type of unique specialties that are offered in US universities, while in India it is all copycats and no originality WHATSOEVER.

2) I agree she is likely to be a bully. I am yet to see a caring, all womanish, soft female as head of an organization or country. A woman, to be selected by a bunch of men and to match the other men, necessarily have to be a bully with a strong dictator like qualities.

Well Saamiyar..you know a woman is complicated and can have many sides to her:) If she is a leader/is in a leadership position- the expectations are different..in that role, she has to be seen as "tough and distant" and also "soft and sweet" all- at the same time!

Speaking of looking soft and sweet..don't know much about Ms. Marissa Mayer..she is quite attractive and apparently famous-is a "cherished" tech-world celebrity (even her wedding dress made news!)..is "self-made" at 37, has a nice man- husband, pregnant, worth 300 million+..what more can a woman ask for:)

http://www.itechdiary.com/marissa-mayer-one-of-vice-president-in-google-will-be-married.html

A man can have all of the above- *except the pregnant part..and it would not be such a big deal! For a woman..it's called"having it all"Smile

Good luck to her!

Thanks for sharing the link atcg!

I like to watch Colbert's show when I can..he is delightful!

It's still a challenge..to have "most of it"..for most women..it's a lot of adjusting, compromising and sacrificing.

*But, not sure having "it all" automatically brings happiness and fulfillment to everyone..am sure most women do have moments when we wish we don't have to do it all..and sometimes can do without it all too!

Twelve years spent learning how to write essays in Tamizh and you ask such questions...Tsk. No wonder the Iyer gurlz kicked you in the teeth.

still incoherent!

you wouldn't know a thing about thamizh or any other indian language; i remember your telling me that you're not literate in a single indian language. i surmise that that is so partly because your indian language has no script, and partly because miss fernandez of that anglo-indian school you attended in bangalore washed your mouth out with soap when you tried to speak in your scriptless language.

btw the last thing the iyer dravid-girls here heard from the iyer boy's mother was "FAIL!" no matter what you say on their behalf, you'll not be given access. what futility! FAIL!

Unkil, denial is futile. Admit it. With age, your faculties are failing. Reading comprehension seems to be the first casualty.

True Unkil. And I don't feel any poorer for it. You on the other hand invested twelve years of your youth studying a language which is not even your own. And have nothing to show for it. No access even now, decades after that failed investment.

Irrelevant. Open a separate thread for your personal vendettas. Clearly, hell hath no fury as a scorned wannabe-iyer-kishtianboy.

Unkil, clearly you derive much comfort from believing that everyone is a loser like you. So I won't burst your bubble.
