The counterintuitive side of engineering

I don’t know much about California schools but I have read a bit about UCs and CSUs.

I am actually shocked that Cal Poly has the highest starting salary for all CA public universities. I would have assumed it would have been Cal.

So I am very impressed that Cal Poly can REALLY hold its own, in terms of career placements and starting salary, even when compared to Cal.

So I want to know how does Cal Poly’s reputation stack up against other UCs in general?

I have read repeatedly here on CC that people from even mid-tier UCs dump on Cal Poly because it is a CSU. So are there any credence to those comments?

Or is that just your classic make others look bad so you can look better?
