For those people, ticket-punching was one notch above "going through the motions."
Both concepts came to mind while reading about the frenzied activities of high school students seeking to increase their chances of getting into Ivy League universities.
Reminder: Make a point of periodically taking a few steps back and asking, "What in the hell am I doing?"

I strongly identify as a father of middle and high schoolers living in an area where this kind of thing happens. I figure if my kids are ivy league material they'll show it without my pushing them into all kinds of crazy things, and if not it's probably better they don't go there anyway.
Dan in Philly,
I seriously wonder about the value of an Ivy League education in most fields.
