It's a crap shoot.

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.

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.

It's a way of life kid.

You'll learn.

Ziltoid 07-31-10 09:12 PM

Or maybe I won't, who knows.

I have this massive cardboard sign from the Trek tour de france contest, and I don't know where to put it.

Ziltoid 07-31-10 09:14 PM

It could make a nice fire.

mzeffex 07-31-10 09:16 PM

Na, it's cool. I also just saw the big lebowski for the first time. It was okay.
