Why is that funny?

Auburn has a large engineering/architectural/etc program. It's very good and those are high paying jobs. Alabama has more communications and social service kids. The difference in those salaries is huge. We're the state flagship. We have had these necessary but poor paying areas of study for forever and always will because the state needs people to do them.

Do you think kids with logistics, accounting, health care management, nursing or teaching degrees from Alabama or Auburn make more money than their counterparts from the other school? It's about where the jobs the school creates are.

Auburn CPAs have a 96% hire rate among the Big 4 and nobody who has a real job from either school gives a shite.

96% of Auburn graduates do not go work for the Big 4. At all.

Also, you've been in multiple threads bragging about being an accountant for a major corporation.

Bragging? The last thing I'm doing is bragging. I'm saying a degree from either of our schools in what I do is good and gets you in the door in major public accounting. It does it's job.

And I don't work for a "major corporation".

My argument has always been both schools have awesome areas and the state should be happy that any kid in state can get a very good degree in almost any area of study they choose at Alabama or Auburn.
