[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Air Force Academy isn't all that prestigious, but West Point and Annapolis are. But it's still very specialized. Grads concentrate in engineering, [b]defense contracting,[/b] etc. I've heard from others that they have a fairly low percentage who go on to professional schools, largely because they have multi-year service commitments and a lot of them end up getting married too, are fairly far along in their careers when they finally go civilian.

In terms of prestige, I would put them a notch or two below the ivy league foremost employers. But for some employers, particularly those in the defense industry, probably a notch above.[/quote]

Untrue. YOu don't know what you're talking about--there is not such thing.  If you think there is a field like that, please explain it.[/quote]

No need to explain, but yes, there is a field in that.  Big field in that.  Outside the military there is not as much prestige but inside there is.  That is where it matters.[/quote]
