[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dh went to UVA. We have since lived in California, Texas, Indiana, and Georgia. No one outside of the immediate area gives UVA any more weight than U-anything else. [/quote]

[b]But George Mason --- now THERE'S a degree that carries a lot of wait in Indiana, the epicenter of the new economy.

Sorry had to do it.[/quote][/b]

But they are getting internships and jobs here on the exploding Tysons/Dulles corridor.  Both of my children have paid summer internships through GMU with big name tech companies this summer.[/quote]

So college choice should mean racing to a zero-name in order to obtain a computer internship in a suburb?

If you are in computer science, you will end up working in a suburb somewhere. Are you one of those city snobs? Or think the only valued positions to take are in law firms and government?

My husband has NO degree and retired at 35 a multimillionaire, due to his stellar technical skills. There are many, many ways to become successful. Hard work is key.[/quote]

I don't buy your story, no way is that realistic this day in age (retiring at 35 and multi-millionaire). [/quote]
