    People ask me all the time if I am in "Internal Auditing." I am just a lowly ISDS major, we are the bastard child of the business school.

    i majored in political science at LSU, it wasnt all that great. i believe its ranked around 75th in the nation. i get the impression you studied poli sci at lsu.

    i agree.

    Truer words have never been spoken. It doesn't matter if you go to Harvard, LSU, or Southern. Education, no matter where, is what you make of it. You will get out of it what you put into it. It is that simple.

    Besides, as soon as the Ivy League grade inflation tactics become public knowledge, everyone will see what academic insiders have known for years; the Ivy League schools ain't near the academic juggernauts they once were.

    I have always been curious to know how much more difficult the ciriculum is at an "elite" school as opposed to LSU.

    The "circularcuriam" doesn't mean a gd thing on this fb forum or on the gridiron ... I think LSU will appear to be ELITE enough on Jan 5th ... and to be quite honest ... if most in here had a choice between ...

    A) An elite education at LSU with a TOP 25 FB Program

    or

    B) An average education with a TOP 5 FB Program

    ... they'd pick B

    .....guzzles a nuther' ... hmmmmmm ...

    she may be sour grapes to yooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    but sheeeeeeze, sweeeeeeeeet wiiiiiiiiine to meeeeeeeeeeee

    Ain't no reason we can't have both. They are both equally important.

    I wouldn't know how harder the curiculum is at Harvard, Yale, MIT or Stanford is than LSU. A lot would depend on what your major is. Whether its tougher than LSU or not lets face it, if you graduate from one of the so called "elite" schools you are going to get a higher paying job than if you graduate from LSU and you will get that first job faster. It all depends on what you do with your education, ambitions and abilities that will determine how much money you are earning 10 or 20 years after you graduate. I have a degree in general studies from LSU and I know a few graduates from "elite" colleges who make less money than I do. I also know a few high school dropouts who make a lot more money than I do. Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard after two years and never had a "real job" but he is the richest man in the world now. His Harvard education didn't make him rich. His college buddy Paul Allen is the 3rd richest man in the world. Paul Allen's college experience paid off because he made the right friend. Bill Gates still works his butt off trying to maintain Micosofts's dominance in the software world. Paul Allen severed his connections with Microsoft years ago and he has about $20 Billion less than Gates but he seems to enjoy life more. He is the owner of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and the NBS's Portland Trailblazers. He plays his guitar and jams with his rock star buddies. A couple of years ago he couldn't find decent hotel space in New Orleans for Mardi Gras so he parked his 258 foot yacht in the Mississippi River as his party headquarters. LSU - If you can make it there you can make it anywhere. Its up to you. By the way the second richest man in the world is Warren Buffet. He graduated from the University of Nebraska. Is there a Corporate Raider department in the U of Nebraska School of Business?

    OK, most of us will never make billionaire money whether we went to LSU, Harvard or a community college. If you want to be a rocket scientist a degree in rocket science from MIT will get you farther than a degree in rocket science from LSU in the beginning of your career as a rocket scientist. But in the long run a rocket scientist with a degree from LSU who is smarter and harder working than a rocket scientist with a degree from MIT will have a more prestigious and higher paying position a few years after graduation.
