Dude you haven't spent much time with rich east cost "aristocracy"

It's crazy how much some of these people travel. Sure an RM might have spent more total time out of the country (but it's a lot closer than you think), but some of these kids will have been to Europe 5-10 times, plus Australia twice and another handful of trips to Asia all before high school graduation. They certainly have us beat when it comes to number of destinations.

BYU is nowhere close to the quality of an Ivy League School

all we need is a few more ivy covered buildings...

Plus, BYU is too conservative, which also means uneducated.

9/30/14 11:09am

universities have become little more than screening services...

for what you're paying it's incredible, 58k vs 2.5k

+1,000,000. I went to an Ivy for grad school and badly regret the debt load.

To me, this is really the only relevant discussion

Well put. An Accord is "nowhere close" to the quality of a Ferrari

Completely agree. But in the meantime, lets not make ourselves look foolish

9/30/14 11:43am

This is the most important point.

Not sure you should use cost as a primary factor because...

It probably makes a difference when you went to BYU and what you studied

Did you attend an Ivy league school as an undergrad? My wife did.

You realize that's not always a great thing right?

BYU doesn't have many grad students and post-docs in the first place

jkccoug

9/30/14 11:32am

Agreed. They need an injection of arrogant, entitled, progressive

Most everyone I have talked to that has attended BYU and an Ivy says BYU stacks

I havent attended an IVY league but have attended byu and another university

I would mostly agree. BYU is consistently ranked in the 60's and 70's in...

Just a question....did you ever attend an Ivy league school?

docrick

9/30/14 11:28am

don't assume high GPA / ACT requirements = elite university

9/30/14 11:32am

Obviously it's not

How much does an Ivy League education cost? How much does BYU cost?

Singcat

9/30/14 11:43am

I've talked to profs who have taught at both

9/30/14 11:47am

We had a Harvard undergrad attend BYU Law School when I was there

9/30/14 11:50am

Ivy League schools are mostly about status and a rip off

Competition for Federal jobs is tough

AxelDC

9/30/14 12:11pm

They are perfect for people with too much money or no money at all

9/30/14 12:05pm

Sadly, there is a lot of truth to that

AxelDC

9/30/14 12:12pm

But many of them do

AxelDC

9/30/14 12:09pm

A very small number perhaps

Yugo

Tell yourself whatever you want, but, as an employer I can tell you that...

That's an interesting anecdote

Yugo

Your link doesn't prove your point as strong as you perhaps think it does

9/30/14 1:16pm

Here's my opinion: Harvard degree will get you an interview, almost every time
