I was talking to a mutt friend of mine earlier today about this kid, and told him how he's buying into uga's academic strength and he started laughing. He said "uga ain't no academic school, it's a party school. Whoever sold him that must be a great used car salesman."

At this point, does it even matter? Hell, I am 50 years old. Just win baby!

If he tries to study engineering at Tech, with the scores that he has currently, it won't matter that we get him, because he'll be academically ineligible within a very short period of time. Then we'll wait for him like we waited for Jabari for how many seasons?

It is what it is.

I mean, he was taking all AP classes this year so I doubt he is dumb. Plus, there is plenty of tutoring available through the AA. He could make it if he works hard. Tech has shifted away from the sink or swim mentality and moved toward a mentality where the staff and students coalesce to provide success for the students.
 
Also, take a look at the source of these quotes, guys. It is the UGA recruiting blog for the local paper. I'm sure there is some bias.

Honestly, the kid isn't going to school to become an engineer. He's gonna go to school to study something like management. UGA business degrees do go far in this state, I'd say on par with Tech because of uga grads hiring uga grads. Or if he wants to study political science or something and get a government job, uga is still a decent choice.

What he doesn't realize is that he will not be studying at uga. He's going to be in the football program, training, playing football and partying the rest of the time while he's just given passing grades. He will be royalty in that öööö hole and I can guarantee his mom that his degree, if he gets one, will be total ööööe once he graduates. At Tech our players have to take calculus for öööös sake. Yes, they get tutoring and help with homeworks and quizzes and what not, but they still have to pass the same ööööing classes just like the rest of the student body. So he and his mom don't realize that, regardless of the few exceptions that did great outside of football with a uga degree, he will truly be throwing his life away. If he's willing to become NFL or bust, then he should go to dwagland and become another statistic later on in life.

AP classes are "normal" classes, "normal" classes are remedial, remedial are special ed, special ed are gone because it's cruel.

No, it really doesn't.

GT Management Degree - $58,000 / 92% employed at graduation
uGA Management Degree - $42,000 / 77% employed at graduation

http://career.uga.edu/outcomes/major_summary/management_-_bachelors15

And keep in mind that's their "most prestigious" undergraduate degree.

GT BS Degree Mid-Career - $112,000
uGA BS Management Degree - $83,000

If you pay for access to their detailed data (which I do), you see:

GT BS Management Degree Mid-Career - $124,000
uGA Management Degree Mid-Career - $85,000

A GT Management degree is worth 40% more at graduation and 45% more at mid-career than a UGA Management degree. Over a 40 year career, a GT degree is worth $2.5 MM more than a UGA degree.

How do you get there? Build a spreadsheet from Age 22 to Age 65 for each graduate. Start GT off at 58,000 and UGA off at 42,000. Each subsequent year is Previous Year *(1+X) where X is the annual salary inflation. Continue to inflate until you get to $124,000 for GT at age 40 (about 4.35%) and $85,000 for UGA at age 40 (about 4%). Sum total salary over each year to get total income. GT is $2.5 MM higher. Ignore the time value of money which would make this greater.

And this is just 3 minutes of research and analysis. We could make more absolutely indisputable arguments like this given enough time. Provide someone these sorts of facts and there is nothing - NOTHING - they can do to make the argument that uGA is a better career choice.

If I read your posts correctly it indicates that a GT MGT BS degree has avg mid career earnings higher than Engineering (and other) GT BS degree grads?

That's pretty darn interesting considering many fonts like to rag on GT MGMT majors compared to Engineers in particular

That's what the data shows. If I had to guess, it's because engineering starts high but levels off quickly. A junior engineer starts off in the $70k range but tops off around $110-120k unless she moves into a management role. In business, on the other hand, you start out lower ($58k) but there's a higher ceiling. A director makes about $150-200k in most corporations, VPs make $250k+.
 
PhD, now add in all of the free stuff they get in Athens and all of the $100 handshakes after games from boosters and autograph signing and the rest which happens even tho it's illegal and then also figure in the disparity in 'exposure' he would get in the two places and how it affects his likelihood of an NFL career and then it would be more pertinent

Since he is not necessarily going for only the school part, only comparing the school part seems a bit one-sided
 
I'll give him a handshake bigger than that. Mine would have diamonds with "Panerai" written on it. Just has to PM me.

He can't even read any of this since the board is closed to outside right now. So we can all relax.
