We're on him for months, and UGA jumps on him for 2 weeks and lands him.

Guess I should be used to it by now.

its been that way for 25 years that recruiting has been followed...and is only worse now with the SEC hype on ESPN year round.

Wish him the best, except when he plays us. I'm not going to get mad at a 17 year old kid bc he made a decision on what he wants. But it is pretty obvious education was not the deciding factor.

Why? Because he doesn't want to go to an engineering school? Have you ever bothered comparing the list of majors at uga v. those at GT?

http://majors.admissions.uga.edu/#

http://www.gatech.edu/degrees/

If you want to major in anything outside of science or management there is nearly no reason to go to GT. This includes:

Accounting
Advertising
Journalism
Marketing
African American-related studies
History
Anthropology & languages / other cultural studies
Art, dance, film, etc.
English
Psychology
Music

That's not even including programs, like economics, that are probably no better at GT than at uga. Hell, there are even a lot of generally science-related majors you can't find at GT, like those relating to veterinary / animal health, pharmaceutical sciences, and agriculture / farming.

Some of you act like GT is the most amazing end-all, be-all of educations. It's not. It's an elite public engineering school. It's got a good business administration / management program. Once you get past that there isn't much noticeably better about GT academic's than uga's.

He said he wanted a good degree that could get him a high-paying job. Most of the ones on your list don't fit that criteria.

I think it must be some inside joke amongst kids, when they say education, all of their friends laugh because what that was code for was "big tittied bitches and alcohol"

To be fair, isn't that what everyone goes to college for?
 
Anyone recall the guy about 6-8 years ago that picked UGAg over GT and said it was b/c he could get a good Computer Science degree from UGAg?

I wonder what software firm he is working for these days...

Furthermore, I'll be willing to bet he takes a major from the football factory list.
 
Let's start a pool to guess what his major is 2 years from now:

Any guesses?
 
Darnit!

I was 100% certain we were going to get this kid to come here!



:BFD:
 
Accounting is pretty good in the Mgt School, you can get a degree in MGT with a concentration in Accounting and do well, go ask Dr. Mulford. Same with Marketing

you can also get a Clinical Psychology degree, or at least you used to be able to, one of my roommates did back in the day

History of Science and Technology is a major school, im sure they offer a degree

i accept that there are majors at Georgie that you cannot really do at Tech, but your list was poor

Well if you want to talk specifically about jobs that will get him a high paying salary, I'd specifically point to all facets of business outside of management (e.g. accounting, advertising, marketing). I don't know if he wants to be a vet, but uga's program is among the best and you'd get paid pretty well there too. GT has a very good business school but its offerings, like the rest of those at GT, are limited.

If you want to major in anything outside of science or management there is nearly no reason to go to GT. This includes:

Accounting GT is probably better
Advertising tough job market and GT management major probably looks better anyway
Journalism tough job market but GT has no answer
Marketing GT is probably better
African American-related studies Epic useless
History Useless except for teachers
Anthropology & languages / other cultural studies Mostly useless except language which is something you can learn at GT while getting a real degree
Art, dance, film, etc. Useless
English Useless except for teachers
Psychology GT is similarly ranked
Music Useless except music ed

That's not even including programs, like economics, that are probably no better at GT than at uga. Hell, there are even a lot of generally science-related majors you can't find at GT, like those relating to veterinary / animal health, pharmaceutical sciences, and agriculture / farming.

You are dumb. He said he wants a good degree. Most of those do not qualify. Here is a list of professions where you are legitimately better off going to UGA for:

Lawyer
Politician
Journalist
Veterinarian
Farmer
Wildlife/Fisheries Biologist
Forester/Park Ranger
History/English/Music Teacher

Next time I hear a UGA commit say he wants to go there because of one of those professions I will believe him. The only ones I have ever heard are journalist and teacher.
 
He said he wants to be an Occupational Therapist. I guess that falls under Psychology?

Both of these are offered as concentrations with a GT management degree. Advertising probably overlaps a ton with marketing.

I'm not saying that you can't do well, and I wasn't aware of the concentration in accounting. My point was more if you want to focus on accounting you'd probably go to the college with an accounting school. uga supposedly has a good accounting school, i don't know too much about it one way or the other.

My main point was that GT has some very good educational offerings, but its not like a Duke or Stanford, or even Notre Dame, where there are great offerings across a number of programs.

If you are interested in doing what GT offers, its a great place to go. But there are a lot of programs offered by uga that aren't offered at GT, or are very comparable to those offered at GT (my guess is accounting is one of them). uga is by no means elite, but they do have some pretty good programs in certain fields and are serviceable in a number of others. This kid may be full of öööö and have no intention of getting a good education, but i dont think a blanket statement could be made that a uga education is complete crap.

It's so funny how this topic gets no only brought up, but beaten down with every recruit we lose or meltdown thread that gets posted.

Really? Advertising is completely different than marketing. There is some overlap, but marketing is about understanding marketing needs, demographics, and ways of matching products with existing markets or creating new ones. Advertising is a very particular tool that is used by marketing, with narrow overlap.

One is promoting a product. The other primarily deals with the question of why there are demands for products and what those demands are.
 
marketing is what you do when you get a degree
advertising is what you do when you stand on the side of the road with a sign

getting a degree in "advertising" seems like a total waste to me
