I'm in New-Brunswick, Canada.

pCad, you could save so much money sending her to a good suny for the first 4 years. Big money schools are SO over rated unless you are in one of the top 5 for specific majors.

If I wanted to save money I'd move to North Carolina.

??

That would make your biz' look bad.

Apples and oranges. NC might be cheaper, but so is the standard of living. On the other hand, some of the suny schools are right up there with the big $ private schools.

Trust me: 'NYU' carries more weight on a resume than 'SUNY'. So does the experience, contacts and exposure of going to school there. Is it worth the dough? Maybe, maybe not. All you can do is sign the big free agent. You can't make him hit 40 home runs.

It's a crap shoot.

This evening I rode up to Melton Hill Park in a secluded corner of NW Knox County. There's not a lot of amenities there: lake dock, swimming area, walking trail, beach volleyball court, and picnic pavilion. A large group was using the latter.



Another steamer with 80%+ humidity. Along the way I saw a couple deers bounding across open field. I'm such an outdoorsman.

Canada doesn't has even the quarter of the "college hip" that you guys have down there, it's so crazy, the amounts you guys pay, and the "weight ona resume" and all, wow...just wow.

I hear you. But today, it's not about going for 4. So, in the long run, it's where you finish, not where you spent the most time. A lot of people are getting 2 or 4 year degrees in peeon schools, then getting the paper at a name school.

Fixed.

I've experienced it in my own working life kid. That NYU tag opened doors for me and helped me land six figure jobs kid. Try not to talk out of your Canuck ass so much.

I'll move to NC when they have a WWF Poster Art exhibit at the friggin Met.

I was not aiming my comment directly at you, but pretty much at the US, you guys are wack with your college stuff.

Well, that could be as soon as the playoffs start...... Oh, I read that at the Mets stadium....

Well, after the US sinks under the weight of its budget deficit, Canada can buy us @ the foreclosure auction if you can outbid China. My kid's NYU or Barnard degree will have landed her a job as the auction sales agent and she'll get a big commission either way.

It has gotten crazy. Soon or later (probably sooner) the U.S. higher education bubble will pop, just like the housing one did.

They will auction your kid's degree to.

So true. Businesses for the most part do not care where you received your undergrad.... they really only care about where you received your grad.

Cool story bro.

It's a sham. There's sticker price and there's what most people pay. Most kids get financial aid from these overpriced idiot schools.

I note that the very large T-shirt was strategically located to hide the subject's belly.

Unintentional, no doubt.

Even at ones not in the stratosphere.

I don't pay real close attention, but every year it seems UT raises tuition 6-9%. Even at "full employment" that's not something that can be sustained forever. And with the job market the way it is now (and will be for several years) there will be a lot of graduates in deep poo.

Fixed for delusional accuracy.

Denial is fun, ain't it?
