Many here fail to recognize that graduate degrees are requisite in many areas nowadays, and the undergraduate degree just does not mean as much in the market as the terminal degree. Oregon may well be followed by a graduate year at Stanford.
Phil Knight went to Oregon and got his MBA at Stanford. I heard that he did OK later on.
Last 400/200 in 59.6/28.8. Thomas Pollard (7:54/13:38/28:23/21st at XC nats at Iowa State) held the Iowa HS best for 3200 at 8:50. Heidesch’s time today equals 8:39 for 3200, and it’s January. He’s easily the best boys distance runner in Iowa HS history, and if he stays healthy he could have a legit shot at sub-4 come June.
maybe they're good schools for running, but they're terrible to start a career from
there are just about ~10-15 schools that place well into elite jobs
what are you talking about? do you know how many people start careers from state schools? You think the workforce is made up of ppl from only those 10-15 schools? lol. ppl like you are the ones with 6 figures in student debt whining about nobody is hiring journalists while the chad who went to Arkansas is making 6 figures and loving life.
there's more to life & a career than the latest us news rankings, sorry.
^^^^^^ Most of the American middle class gets their start in state schools. For many of these kids it's much smarter not to go into debt for a degree from the Ivys. Also, a lot of these kids want to put more time/energy into their running careers instead of devoting hours to studying every day. I' almost certain a successful four years at a state school looks better to employers than an average one at schools like Stanford.
