They're both larval stages, just different ones.

As far as knowing about the workings of a company, I'd definitely bet on the college student. The observation in my other comment applies to general adults as well.

College students have spent much longer being indoctrinated that corporations are good, and the bigger the better, than have five-year-olds. In that sense the joke actually was -- at least to some small part -- serious.
