I remember clearly what I said. Don’t get sour because you’re either unwilling or unable to extrapolate anything more from one real world example provided.
Would it make you feel better if I used a different example of the same issue? You seem sensitive over the eating out topic.

The irony in you making this statement is palpable.

that depends, are you trying to move away and do these proffessions? If not, its doesnt really matter.
for example, having to work your way into big4 or biglaw (as opposed to starting there after graduating) is a setback and almost certainly means you're career earnings is taking a significant hit.
eta: serious question, do Deloitte and e&y recruit ull and uno like they do lsu?

Like I said, if you know you want to stay in South Louisiana, go to Mcneese. But you don't know what you don't know. How would you ever know you would want to work for Goldman if you're never exposed to it?

Most of the places it would matter look at LSU as no better than any commuter school.
If that were true, these companies would put the same amount of resources into the commuter schools. But the reality is they're pouring money into LSU and making them one of their "national schools of interest" along with places like Texas, Penn St, UCLA, etc

Lol you're the one that's sour because you contradicted yourself, multiple times, in the same thread.

hold on i was talking specifically engineering and other stem degrees.

dude doesnt matter the degree....places are not pouring money into recruiting LSU like Texas, Penn State, UCLA. LSU is a teir 2 school at best. I hate to say that but its the truth. Its a top 150 university but no where close to the same as the 3 you mentioned.

i 1000% agree with that and said so. You go into that knowing though the ROI is there.
Thing is...most college grads from schools in Louisiana either stay in state or go to Texas. Actually way more than just most. For them, unless in finanace or law, its better ROI to stay at a commuter school and minimize debt, get your first job, get expierence than move.

doubt it, just like they dont recruit LSU like they do the better schools in the NE.

Tier 2 for what engineering?.
It doesn't matter what school you went to if you graduated with a 3.0 or better in engineering or accounting people are begging you to come work for them.

I can tell you with 100% certainty, there are employers with tens of thousands of employees that have these three schools in the same recruiting tier

And it is possible for some people. Your assumption that someone must have wealthy parents, or be in their 40's to have the financial situation of that guy was incorrect.

You took what I said about something completely unrelated and moved it to what you wanted to

You literally said that the guy who had very minimal debt and a graduate degree had to either have wealthy parents or be in his 40's

then things have changed tremendously, but in the end, was not my point to begin with as the people that are looking for those types of jobs and moving away certainly know going in that if they take the loans out, the ROI is there.
my point was...unless in finance or going for a certain secondary school like certain law or mba programs....and you plan to live in louisiana or texas...i.e. ~80%+ of those graduating from Louisiana and Texas schools....you are better off going to a smaller commuter school near your home than going to the big state school like LSU/UT/A&M.
For example...im in engineering, I went to LSU but finished at McNeese. At my old job I had quite a few LSU grads working for me, at my current job i am a sole contributor but we have other McNeese grads that have grads from LSU, McNeese, A&M, Tech and others that work under them.
For most in louisiana and texas, in most majors, matter diddly squat if you went off to college vs lived with parents and went to commuter school.
I personally went to lsu and had abotu 10k in student loans i had to take care of. I went 7 semesters before transferring. I can say with 100% certainty I would have been better off just going to McNeese from the start and living at home, atleast from an ROI point of view.
now i do agree there is something to be said about classical education and going off to live by yourself and being on your own. But that doesnt have the ability to be factored into ROI.
Posted on 8/4/22 at 11:29 am to Mingo Was His NameO
We have LSU higher than most due to LSUCIA and the A&A program. And companies definitely pour money and time into LSU for that area.

I would guess with some level of confidence that the big 4 spends more recruiting LSU then they do most other schools including the NE. A) there are many more candidates and B) LSU charges a premium for access to their students that rivals or beats every other school I've recruited.
