I personally love Logistics. There is great money in it, but you definitely need to be a person who can stay on top of things.

Great job in offering that Arkansas and being a leader in that regard. It is not as easy as it looks.

How about Dave Mattingly??? I've met with Rece one time here- last fall when Gameday was in town. Dave Mattingly has been up here numerous times to give us tips on broadcasting, writing scripts, and doing different shots to make it intriguing for the viewers.

Guy was with CNN for a life time.

Unfortunately, other than Vandy, Florida and A&M the SEC isn't known for anything academically.

Nursing is hard as hell.

Any University that is good at that is doing a benifit to our whole society. Especially if they offer a B.S. and M.S. degree.

Talk about making money too.

Georgia:

Anything agricultural is huge.

Forestry is huge.

Journalism school is pretty well regarded nationally.

The MPA program is top 2 in the nation which makes SPIA exceptional.

I feel like the best students are definitely steered towards accounting/finance/ or biology/chemistry and while those programs are well regarded, nothing special about them when compared with all the other similar programs.

Alabama's Business Program is top notch. Great choice for the students who actually make it through that program. My nephew is strongly considering going to Alabama just for this.

I could not be a prouder Uncle in the Universe if that kid gets a degree from the University of Alabama's Business School four years from now. Really good program.

Look, the four AAU universities in the SEC are Vandy, Fla, A&M and Mizzou. In most rankings, they would also appear in that order. I left Mizzou out because of their recent events that threatens their future.

Realistically, if your university is not an AAU member (which is not a huge standard) then it's more trade school than academic institution. Nothing wrong with that but, it is the reality.

A&M is more similar to the rest of the SEC than they are to Vandy and UF. You people are literally the only people that group A&M with Vandy

A&M is closest to UF and UGA.

Nobody in the SEC comes close to Vandy.

I started out in History, but found out I was better in Engineering and it just so happened that that decision made me a little more money along the way.

Still love History, but had to go with the money, haha.

Best decision I ever made.

When I retire in 30 years though, I am definitely going back to pursue that Major and may teach at a local college just for fun. History is more of a hobby right now, instead of a money-maker, which is sad. But you have to fit into the market at this day and age. Sad but true.

I felt the same way about Journalism, but Auburn killed that program in 2006 I think. Disappointing.
