I have not hired a UGA Engineer yet. Have not had one come across my desk to be honest. I have hired Bama grads, but from the business school. Hired more Auburn Engineers and Construction MGT. Most of them are solid. Have a number of UGA grads with biz and other random degrees. Some of my best guys are honesty ones with random degrees who had good experience and people skills along with a great work ethic. My Tech guys are good Engineers tho. Just need to keep their contact with Owners to a min..

We seem to get a lot of Tech Grads at Norfolk Southern. Most are nice guys but they don’t know jack crap about railroading and the majority of them are really awkward to deal with.
