[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is the measure here always what will land a job with a Fortune 500 company. Very few people I know would want to work in such a place. There's nothing wrong with it, I just can't imagine judging a college by this.

What about most graduate degrees and university/college teaching jobs? What about research grants? What about Pullitzer Prizes? I could go on and on, and all of these examples are far more appealing to me than working at a Fortune 500 company.[/quote]

I agree with this 100%.  I am so much more impressed by people who have used their good education to do something creative or beneficial to the world over becoming a banker or a lawyer.[/quote]

This is such BS - coming from a place of ENVY.  The Doctor or Lawyer (or CEO) ends up paying hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in taxes that are essential for American society to function.  This is far more important and beneficial than those who pursue "feel good" professions that would be impossible if not for the 70% of all tax revenue paid by the top 10% of earners. [/quote]

Your tax money is more important than the hospice worker who holds your mothers hand and wipes her tears in her dying days? [/quote]
