<p>shoebox,</p>
<p>1) not to be harsh, but obviously cool beans didn’t understand “excluding certain professional type degrees” when he said that my explanation was “complete rubbish” and then went on to post an example of the 1 thing i excluded from my generalization.</p>
<p>Take this example. </p>
<p>I say - “The fastest accellerating cars in the world (excluding drag racers) are $1,000,000+ super cars.”</p>
<p>Response - “Thats complete rubbish, drag racers the fastest accellerating cars in the world and they arn’t $1,000,000+ supercars.”</p>
<p>Thats essentially what cool beans said. Maybe I thought it didn’t need to be said, but DERRRRRRRRRRR.</p>
<p>2) I never said a Harvard engineer is better than X school engineer, but you must realize that a Harvard degree, regardless of what it is in, holds more weight than any degree from schools like Virginia Tech, Purdue, Georgia Tech, and even UVa to the average person, and most likely the average employer. You must realize that even though a school may have a great program, they don’t get looks from the absolute best jobs. You can get a job from an ivy league school that someone at georgia tech would never have even known about because the company won’t recruit from there.</p>
