re: why do some people on here say that Florida

Like with all those highly prestige universities represented on Wall Street. It matters just long enough until the world humbles you.

But who says that all of them get humbled? Wall Street would not continuously take Ivy grads if all of them continued to fail--it would look elsewhere.

For the ones that do fail, there is another brilliant Ivy leaguer, with the passion and drive to succeed that takes their place and becomes successful.

If you are from GA, then the HOPE would apply to GT.

However, if you are out of state, GT is no cheaper than any other school.

That is from their site.

The Ivys have the opportunity the LSU grads do not (there could be an extremely rare case, but every school could make this claim). Statistics would hold that you need to be at an Ivy to have the opportunity.

I do agree with that, but they need to add common sense and ethics to the curriculum.

Also, these people do not add value nor create wealth in real terms. Want to know why I am an engineer. Reason is the only true way to create wealth is to manufacture from raw materials or to value add to products.
In the USA we are loosing globally. Too many investment bankers, too many lawyers, too many IT experts. Not enough creativity and manufacturing. That is all going overseas. I license technology and I have been seeing this for 15 years. All we have now is politicians who want to tax production of electricity by means of coal and gas. They don't want to use nuclear and they have no idea how to do it otherwise. Windmills, yeah right!!!! I almost get a nut off everytime I hear this.
Engineers are in very very high demand in the US because students have not gone into this field.

I don't think I have ever met an engineering student at LSU who didn't laugh at business classes.

Completely agree.

I can agree with all of this as well.

I need a drink and hell I never drink at home. I am leaving for Korea on Wednesday and then from there to Egypt, Turkey, Thailand, China and Japan.

If you want this type of job there is one thing that you need. "A STRONG LIVER". So I need to tune mine up.

Goodnight.

can't relate to the technology that was available then, but I have had calculus professors not allow us to use calculators during tests. If you know how to work the calculator well enough then it can solve the problem without you having any understanding other than memorizing which buttons to push (or so is the reasoning on the professors end).
__________________________________________________

Yeah, we never allowed to use calculator or slide rule in calculus. Actually, I really did not have an appreciation for calculus until after I graduated.
Want to know the most useless course one can ever take. 2nd Physical Chemistry. People who really like and understand that are not breathing air on a regular basis.

Enjoy the trips, even if they are for business.

I just got back from Europe; it was a great experience.

Good talking to ya.

Good talking to you too. By the way, one of my very best friends graduated from Rutgers in finance. He is one of the nicest, most intelligent guys I know.

Get over it. LSU is hot shite in Louisiana, and moderately respected in the rest of the South/country (to a lesser extent). While the quality of the education is debatable, every employer knows how to look up US News & World Report rankings. And it does matter. Don't be a dipshit.
-------------------------------------------------
Hey young a-hole, I am an employer and I don't have enough time to waste looking at a US News & World report. I spend too much of my spare time bitch slapping people like you. Like I said, get a degree, go to work in the real world and talk to me in 5 years. By the way, if you want an engineering job, don't go to UF. I would not hire your arse.
