Ahem. This I.E. with a PE and a lot more than 80k begs to differ.

We do admit we aren't as nerdy.
Perhaps one of you extry smart engineers can set a countdown until the planned day for us more mathematically challenged brethren?

He's headed to Ugag--to study engineering.

If that happens, we blame our recruiters. Read my post earlier in the thread about a uGA engineering degree work more than $1 MM less than a GT engineering degree. Anyone who reads that and still chooses uGA was never interested in the degree.
 
Also, I still could use his address to send him that analysis with supporting documentation. - something our recruiters should have already done.

At a recent public appearance CPJ mentioned that a lot of kids thought they were interested in engineering because they didn't really understand how much work is involved. I
Hope he wasn't thinking of DRob when he said that. In any event, it may not be a sales failure if he goes to UGA to study engineering.

Has someone explained, using external data, that a uGA engineering degree is worth a fraction of a GT engineering degree?

Does that need any explanation? I thought it was just universal truth.

You can say that, then some East Cobb Mom with her precious son at uGA will say "UGA is now harder to get into than GT, and the engineering program is rapidly improving". Both of these are false and you can provide proof to not only dispute both statements but show that the opposite is true. Few people provide that proof.

No, it really doesn't.

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

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.

Reposting this.
 
If the kid goes to Ugag, it will be a football decision, however anyone spins it. He'll probably end up majoring in business or something and that will be that.

And we will trash CPJ and the staff for not dragging him into GT at gunpoint.
