[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One kid at Michigan, one at Wisconsin. Michigan is generally a target for everything so he's set. The other at Wisconsin, however, is struggling despite having a higher gpa.

Wisconsin is a great school, I didn't really notice a difference in academics. The problem is its very unrecognized and obscure with employers...that goes from Mckinsey to a gas station.[/quote]

Is this causing resentment between the two?

I thought wisco was a target for ag/food related stuff - Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland, cpg firms like Pepsi, Nestle, Hershey, Mondelez, Coca-cola etc

Somewhat, although Mich kid feels bad because he knows Wisconsin is good...His favorite history professor did a PHD there. The jobs in Wisconsin vs Michigan itself are totally different. For example, PwC has an office in Detroit, so their representatives took a 30 min drive to Ann Arbor and were very eager to hire. With Wisc, my kid said you could tell what little big name employers did come made an effort to communicate the fact they went out of their way to get to Madison and were much more strict with even giving interviews. Google and Amazon were like that. The vast majority of other jobs in Wisconsin are farming. Just as advice to the other DC's looking at Wisconsin for their kid. [/quote]
