<p>If by ■■■■■■■■ you mean veer off topic and hijacking threads, well you’re all guilty of it here, and have probably been guilty of it elsewhere. I would argue that the real ■■■■■ is the one in denial. The real ■■■■■ is the one hiding behind a non-■■■■■ mask, evaluating the very definition of trollism, and then freely ascribing it to whomever they feel. It’s a sort of myth making if you ask me. Still, I would suggest that each and every one of you is both a ■■■■■, and a ■■■■■ hunter. In this definition of ■■■■■, I suggest that a continuous suicide of reason is the highest form of trollism. That is, unless you intend to abandon reason, meaning it was a purposeful abandonment. If, however, you don’t realize that you’ve blinded yourself by claiming to know what ■■■■■■■■ is or is not in the universal sense, well then you are essentially a ■■■■■. If you pretend to play nice with people you don’t know, don’t care about, just to get information out of them, well then you have sacrificed your freedom, pride, self-confidence, spirit; it is, as Nietzsche said a “subjection, self-derision, and self-mutilation” of individuality. Who really is the ■■■■■ then? The one who claims not to be a ■■■■■ and blends in, or the one who laughs at the very idea of defining a commutative use of the word ■■■■■?</p>

<p>Nooooooo!! Emil! evan! Look what we’re letting the females do! Anything but the hot guy thing again! Anything!!! Evan! Look we mnust stop them! I’m on my celly, so I can’t rlly fight back :frowning: haha</p>

You’re mistaking correlation with causation.
econ101 man… actually econ 80, remedial ****.
You’re mistaking correlation with causation.</p>

<p>The reason why those who graduate from top schools tend to do better is NOT because of the school per se. It’s because of the rigor they put themselves through. You take two guys with a business admin degree, one from berk with a 3.6GPA and on from UCR with a 4.0 GPA, and both will have comparable shots of getting an interview.
your degree is just a piece of paper. Having one vs. not having one is what matters most. I’d assume this would be simple, it’s because employers like well qualified applicants. Yes, the people who come from top schools tend to be better qualified, that said, such people exist elsewhere. I’ve got a friend who was in at USC and she dropped out with a 2.8GPA. Congrats, he top school is worth NOTHING. I’d take a high B student from Riverside over that crap if I were an employer. As would a graduate school.</p>

<p>In the end, the guy with 3 internships, research experience and sufficiently solid academics will get the job. Where he got the degree from won’t matter so much. Yes, at a higher school you can get by with a lower GPA and still look equally qualified. That’s great. Graduate schools care more about grades and GRE/GMAT. The school that the person ends up at and the job they get are more related to WHO they are. </p>

<p>And for the record, my uncle got his bachelor’s from Irvine as well as his master’s and he’s doing rather well, he’s a chief engineer at intel and prior to that he was at IBM…
My father is a cal poly SLO dropout and his net worth exceeds my uncles by several times.</p>

this is most definitely not true. First off, Haas actually has a reputable program whereas UCR isn’t even on the map. Comparatively, the students at Hass will also undoubtedly be better than the students at UCR. The competitive nature at those respective schools outline the 3.6 vs the 4.0. It’s effectively a weight for the Haas students. Furthermore, how many UCR business administration graduates do you see running Forbes 500 companies vs Hardvard, MIT, Columbia, Stanford, and Haas – individually, of course.</p>

<p>You may get a comparable shot at an interview, but the prestige that comes with a well known business school, along with the knowledge and proven competence that comes with coming from that school often outweighs a perfect GPA at a lesser school. This isn’t even for for debate.</p>

<p>The degree is just a paper yeah, but compared with the connections you get from private schools like USC? Business isn’t about the degree. It’s about who you know, and the school you go to is a deciding factor. She dropped out. She didn’t even graduate – what’s the point?</p>

<p>Obviously, the person with more experience is going to get the job. But then you look at internships; who is more qualified for a position? Stanford undergraduate or a UCR undergraduate. everything points to better school = more opportunity. that’s just how it is. i’m not saying it’s the end-all-be-all argument. it’s merely what i said before: </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>i never said it was a guarantee.</p>

<p>For the record, the CS major at UCI is actually a top tier program, as is SLO; your point is moot. I only brought up the Ivy League because they have more top tier programs in more subject fields than other schools. Any top tier program will land you better opportunity regardless of where it’s ranked overall or how well known it is. i.e Harvey Mudd; any engineer worth a **** will know what this school is. Employers know, colleagues know, etc.</p>

<p>the target near UTC in san diego is cool! haha. target> walmart any day. however, target does not give you the same entertainment…walmart people are hilarious.</p>

717

<p>There is a target near UTC?! I work at UTC. WHERE?! :O</p>

<p>Not the one in Mission Valley, right?</p>

718

<p>

it wasn’t in 1969 when he graduated…</p>

<p>and my father wasn’t a CS guy, he was… **** I don’t even know what my father’s major was, all I know is that he dropped out half way through his senior year because he ran out of money and was too proud to ask his father for help.</p>

719

<p>ah, perhaps you can follow in his footsteps then</p>
