I am not a homebody by any means, but I am just being realistic about my best opportunities to land a good job in a good city with an LSU degree.

Then take the new experience (On the Hill) for a nice price and put the paper on the wall. The experience is what you'll need anyway but you will start a small bump ahead of others with a BS. Experience is what truly matters but I doubt you want to take 10 years after college to head back and get your MBA like some of us did.

There are plenty of pros and cons to this...

1. An MBA with no experience is still a guy with no experience but will get a small pay bump and edge in the job.
2. An MBA guy with lots of experience and work ethic is where the money is at. (It's harder going back to school after many years of work)

If you go route one, do it for cheap, enjoy the experience and prepare for the future with MINIMAL DEBT. You'll be glad you did. You've done LSU and have had wonderful experiences, head on up to Arkansas and make some new ones. From a geography standpoint you'll have the Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas regions covered with a large network map inside of each.

From what I've been hearing you aren't the only Swamp Kitten to head up to Fayetteville for graduate school.

Nice tips, thanks for your feedback. I've had a lot of people tell me to go ahead and go straight for my MBA as it's difficult to go back after undergrad.

You've probably heard right, as I've talked to a couple of friends that are well aware of the Walton school. it's a really good value that can open a lot of doors.

Plus, I always enjoy my visits to NW Arkansas. It's a very happening place

As someone who has lived outside of SEC country for a while now, I can guarantee you that nobody outside of Florida sees "The University of Florida" on a resume and thinks anything other than "oh, another state school grad."

I get what you're saying, but that is not entirely true. I had a guy from Seattle in my tax LLM program at UF, and he said multiple employers in Seattle told him they only interview tax lawyers (right out of school) from NYU and UF. I realize that is pretty specialized, but pretty much anyone who knows anything about tax is aware of UF's tax law program

Levin College of Law has an outstanding tax curriculum. But that's all.

Here's a breakdown of the number of Ole Miss students enrolled in its various colleges and schools.

Engineering 1,500
Education 1,600
Liberal Studies 1,600 (Kids that make OM fun)
Journalism 1,000
Pharmacy 1,000
Law School 550

Now here's a breakdown of the number of Mississippi State students enrolled in its various colleges and schools.

Arts & Sciences 5,000
Engineering 3,500
Architecture 200
Education 3,500
Business 2,500
Ag Science 2,000
Forestry 500
Vet School 400

Moral of the Story: Go to Ole Miss if you want to enter a professional career. Go to State if you want to build shite, teach, or Farm.

All of OM's accounting schools (undergrad, masters, doctorate ) are ranked in top 10 in the nation.

That's why all the UC satellite campuses (UC Davis, UC Irvine, etc.) are all so overrated, because they all review each other as if they're all Berkely.

Ask a guest professor if they're overrated. My dad did some work at UC Davis and said their students far exceeded every other student body he'd ever worked with.

Of the 624 public universities in the United States, only six have produced more Rhodes Scholars than Ole Miss: the universities of Virginia, North Carolina, Washington, Wisconsin, Montana and Texas. Ole Miss is tied with the universities of Michigan and Oklahoma and West Virginia University for the seventh-place spot.
