I'm marveling at the fact that an "academic" such as yourself (snicker) would be spending so much time on a thread concerning a school or schools you have such disdain for.  It appears [b]you [/b]are a poor advertisement for your own profession.  Clearly academia isn't keeping you nearly busy enough!

One of the benefits of tenure is that I have all the time I need to correct people who are wrong on the internet.

And shouldn't you be slaving away at your humdrum office job right now?[/quote]

People like you are a dime a dozen, whether in academia or in life.   [/quote]

LOL I don't think you know what the odds are of getting through a PhD, then getting hired, then getting tenure.

In fact, the odds are so vanishingly small that you'd have to be stupid to go down that road without attending the most prestigious possible schools. Otherwise you are almost certainly wasting your time and money. Yeah, go ahead, cite the few exceptions... but for every exception there are HUNDREDS of people with PhDs who never got hired to the tenure track.[/quote]
