Name dropping Jesuit people by someone who didn’t go to Jesuit to get contacts or a job is pretty gay. You sound like a social climber.

LSU = none, but they do have a jobs page that is updated once a week

UNO = non-existent; basically do everything yourself



Looking for a job through the career center of both schools is pointless unless you want to work in a hotel or be a bank teller

LSU's sucks in general


Maybe in LA (the state) but not really for LSU grads in Houston, especially for engineers. I see lots of fresh LSU engineers get hired through LSU networking.

Big LSU fan, as I was raised in Baton Rouge, but I went to Ole Miss (because I was from Baton Rouge and my mom taught at LSU).

Ole Miss actually has a pretty damn strong one.

But I got hired at my company because of an Episcopal High School grad (who posts here) and then got promoted into a new role at my company because of a different Episcopal High School grad. And we're in Nashville.

Aggies know they are the socially awkward, can't fit in, turd in the punchbowl crowd that no one else can tolerate. So they stick together like a cult. They know that they can't get by on their social skills alone, so they dig in, hire others like them, and breed like roaches.

Pretty much this. Then they bump their Aggie rings like they are in that cartoon Superfriends when they meet each other.

LSU is not


I guess you were downvoted for coming with some truth. LSU is not good at all.

But I can get a #18 jersey by contributing $118 to the athletic department. So there is that.

Another school with great alumni networking is Clemson.

Jesuit has done more for as far as getting my foot in the door at places that I have absolutely no business being in than anything else in my life.



No other high school comes to mind with Jesuit's networking. It's really pretty impressive, and I'm an outsider.

LSU Landscape Architecture alumni base is numerous and widespread and the professors are well connected to the industry and help get you interviews with an incredible number of firms all over the US and in other countries too.

If you are an LSU Accounting/Finance grad, and you're not socially awkward, then you are almost guaranteed a job in Houston due to the network base.

The Trojan network is huge and very active.
UCLA's is horrible.
Better than most colleges is the Loyola High (Los Angeles) network. Very strong just like it sounds like Jesuit is.
I run into LSU grads in L.A. every once in a while and they seem to always be on the lookout for fellow LSU grads and are always willing to take a meeting with them.

My experience with both LSU and UNO has been that the professors are more interested in getting you to go to grad school than getting a job

While this is probably a stretch, that is funny as hell. Have an upvote, my friend.
