Jbro22 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Funny you mention that. I just got back from a college fair a while ago. All I know is that I want to do something engineering-related. Stanford or MIT would be ideal, but Holy Cross or other schools work for me. Good luck with that man, wish I didn't get a degree in Arts and Crafts err Communications like I did. For me, University of Tampa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHT STALKER Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Iona College...drafted because dumb me was taking only 10 credit hours and needed 12 for a deferment. Graduated from the University of South Vietnam...instead of a diploma, they gave me a Purple Heart and some other pieces of jewelry that won't buy me a cup of coffee. Have to say though, my Purple Heart license plate does get me out of traffic citations...always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, if you dig small catholic schools like Holy Cross, there is one outside of Philadelphia that has a GREAT engineering program... PM me for more info Oh and this school has a national champion football team & pretty awesome basketball too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uart Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I used to live about a mile away from Holy Cross. Used to watch the Worcester Tornadoes play right next to their campus. And they are one of my backup plans if I can't make Division 1 football. Holy Cross IS division 1 football. Do I need to start an "FCS football IS DIVISION I FOOTBALL (except when Georgetown does it)" thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you 99% plan on Post-Grad, then go to Holy Cross or 'other schools' for Undergrad, and save Stanford and MIT for your Post Grad degree.

JohnnyHector Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 If you 99% plan on Post-Grad, then go to Holy Cross or 'other schools' for Undergrad, and save Stanford and MIT for your Post Grad degree. If it's a profession that requires post-grad before going out into the workforce (ie. law or medical), then I would agree. In engineering, it completely depends on what you're looking to do. If you want to be an egghead and go the research/PhD/professor route, then I would agree that the school you choose for undergrad is not as important. However, if you intend on being a practicing engineer working for a company, I would go to a better school for undergrad and try to get your foot in the door somewhere as an intern, if possible. Then, after graduating, look for a full-time position, as many companies will pay for you to go back to school. The bonus is that as long as the course can be justified as being directly related to your current job function, that money is not taxable as income. This route saved me quite a bit of money, as my company covered up to 18 credits of post-grad per calendar year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy of mine went to Laffayette for engineering, and right out the gate(no post-grad) kids making probably 4x I am working on the new World Trade Center.

My response was specific to him considering Engineering... he'll probably be one of those propeller-heads that winds up never leaving school for the real world, so your advice is certainly sound.
