Teacher, Mechanical Engineer and Pharmacist.
Whether the Chemical Engineer is worthless or not is irrelevant. He went to an Ivy League school so he was guaranteed to make 6 figures right?  |

The one with the Political Science/Law degree is now an outside rep for Shimano North America, and pulls in about $100k/year. Great salary, sure...only one problem...he could have done it right out of high school and saved $150g's. Of the three guys that went to state schools, they all got jobs in their field, and the lowest paid is making about $38k/year. The highest is making about $65k.

I don't read too good, but didn't you say that your friend the Political Science/Law degree graduate could have gotten the $100k/year job 'right out of high school and saved $150k'? I figured since whatever highschool your buddy went to could crank out such talent, I only want what's best for my child. Hell I'll even move up there to be Landshark's neighbor to send my kid there. $100k straight out of highschool is awesome dude.
Oh yeah, I'm a firm believer that if you're an idiot, then no matter where you go to school, your still and idiot with a nice piece of toilet paper.....like your friend the chemical engineer. Anyone with half a brain would be able to get a decent job coming out of one of those Ivy League schools. But you're right, it doesn't guarntee 6 figures....cause idiots aren't capable of scrubbing urinals.
