<p>I haven’t posted in a while but I found this thread to be interesting. I have a couple kids attending Cornell. My son has majored in economics with an engineering backround. He had several job offers and is taking a job right after graduating earning $72,000 a year. I would say his Cornell experience has paid off well.
I would also like to add that my other son is taking a job out of the country for the next two years that will not only be exciting but very lucrative. They are both positioned well as a result of the opportunities they have had at Cornell. It is one of the finest universities in the world. To say it is a school on the decline just sounds foolish. Spend some time at Cornell and come back and tell us if it is on the decline.</p>
