<p>Well…I’m not sure I can realistically guarantee you an eternal six figure salary like Barnaby can. What I can guarantee you is you’ll find more opportunities coming out of UCLA than UCSC. You’ll probably also get a better education, since you’ll be more motivated by your peers to study and learn. I would recommend UCLA without a doubt, but if you really disliked the place (as was the vibe in your initial post), then maybe not.</p>
