DISQUS

Love the photo of my alma mater's football stadium. The UGA numbers must to be wrong, though. Cow milking can't possibly pay that well.

I think you hit it on the head, Flexo, when you noted that ROI is a pretty poor way of actually understanding the happiness you derive from an experience. After all, liberal arts schools have the lowest return in this survey financially, and yet breed some of the best and brightest in the country. It is simply that best and brightest rarely maps to "most highly paid". *grins*

Nice to see that GA Tech is high up on that list (I am a current student), but as Kyle stated, U[sic]GA's numbers have to be wrong.

Hm, sounds like an intra-Georgia rivalry.

Higher education has too many faces now, and while I'm not so scathing as to label it just another product, to most people and in many ways it is.

It is brand driven, so the economic reality for most liberal arts students is that they pay exorbitantly for what they actually get from "most competitive" universities/corporations. The industrial consumer education complex's idea of "super sizing" tuition needs to die, and hopefully will soon.
