I'm with you on this...there's a perception that everyone at Stanford should work for Google or start a company, and I'm pretty sure Stanford grads do those things disproportionately, but I've met plenty of people at Stanford who wouldn't get hired by Google and aren't interested in a startup. You only hear about the Stanford grads who do cool stuff, and you hear about Stanford people doing that more than you hear about other people doing it...but don't let that lead you into thinking that everyone at Stanford does cool stuff.
