Why? The fact that people go to college in Atlanta doesn’t mean that they spend the rest of their lives in Atlanta - especially considering that their student body is drawn from all over the country and beyond. THEY’re not a state u with a local student body with roots in the local area. Same for Georgetown and DC. |

So Georgetown grads end up making 20k more than Emory grads which is good but not that impressive considering location. 71k is Atlanta will give you a princes lifestyle. |

What does location of the university git to do with it? You aren’t seriously suggesting that Emory grads go to work in Atlanta after graduation, are you? And that Georgetown alums are employed only in DC and UVA alums in Virginia? Come on. Think about what you’re saying. You’re smarter than that. |

But they do, Half of Emory grads stay in the southeast it says it in there career outcomes site. That's true for most college grads. Also yes most GTown and UVA grads are in the mid Atlantic. |

Cite your sources, PP. And while you're at it, consider reading Strunk & White. |

It's an anonymous forum pp. Insulting people you don't know is pathetic. Here's the link https://careercenter.emory.edu/outcomes/ 43% of Emory grads stay in Georgia, if you count the other southern states it's well over 50%. So yes Emory grads have better salary potential. |

Why would you assume Emory grads all stay in Atlanta? |

PP, I also recommend Guides To Straight Thinking With 13 Common Fallacies, by Stuart Chase. You might learn something! And buying a couple of books is a lot cheaper than going to either Emory or Georgetown, PP. Buy them for your kid, too. Saves on tuition. |

Somehow I suspect 23:15 is OP.
OP, it’s nice that you like Emory. But why are you so obsessed with insisting that it’s better than Georgetown? Has Georgetown been mean to you? |

You're projecting. You asked for the data I provided it. You come across as crazy. It's quite clear that for most Emory grads their first jobs are in the southeast. |

Because they do, it's not an assumption. |

Please. Think about what you’re saying. The heading of what you linked says, “First Destination”. They’re reporting that 43% of their graduates get their first job, not where they spend their careers - unless you’re saying that this is a society with no mobility. And even still, the vast majority (57%) find there first job out of state and half of them outside the Southeast. |

But it is an assumption when we’re talking about mid career earnings as posted. And even early career earnings as reported by Payscale doesn’t refer to first year out of college. All we know from what Emory reported is where graduates were living in their first year out of college. And only 57% had their first destination with an employer. The rest were in grad school, the military, etc. so we can’t use these locations as a statement about salary to be adjusted by local cost of living - not wen 43% of them aren’t even earning a salary in a job on a career path. |

| Officially? I assume an authorized representative of each of G’town and Emory were present for some passing of the baton ceremony before an officiant where Emory “officially” surpassed G’town. This is insane. It’s like saying Citizen Kane is “officially” better than Gone with the Wind or The Godfather. |
