*or Georgia.

Yes, I had to correct that deliberate omission.

So you're a short timer probably with some bull shite disability and a huge ego even though you are confused as to whether you're a Bama or Georgia fan. Do you have blue hair too?


I’ll let your responses speak for themselves from this point forward haha

No disability, decently fit, and, like most in PB, a conservative of God given hair color.

Thank you, it’s an enduring enjoyment. Paired with an MBA and a four-year stint as a military officer, it’s a pleasant life in private equity in Palm Beach.

To those reading this thread who are yet to decide on a major (an unlikely event, given the purported average age on this site), let our exchange demonstrate why a degree in philosophy or history (i.e., instruction in debate and logical reasoning) pays dividends far beyond a starting salary.

Well then as a quasi Georgia fan you should shut the frick up


Thank you for once again showcasing your imbecility. You never disappoint. Enjoy your life in Alabama.

For a state with all the resources of Georgia, you'd expect better.


Top 25 law and business schools (outranking UF and on par with UNC-Chapel Hill), average ACT of 32 (on part with UF, UT-Austin, UNC), and an acceptance rate that will likely hit the low 20s / high teens by the end of this decade. Major finance and big law placement in Atlanta, Charlotte, South Florida, and Dallas.

I’m sorry you’re disappointed in our superior university. Also, UGA law and business programs both outrank GT and Emory. Again, UGA — like most of America’s highly ranked universities — is not a STEM school.
quote:

I am highly disappointed that Georgia ranks so low in STEM curriculum. I guess you dont need physics when history classes print big money


UGA is not a STEM school. Unlike Alabama, Georgia is a successful state that has room for several esteemed institutions besides its flagship (e.g., GT and Emory).

You’re also, unsurprisingly, missing a critical distinction. Auburn has better STEM programs than UGA because it is primarily an Ag / STEM school, yet no one outside of Alabama views Auburn as academically impressive.

Meanwhile, UGA has nationally ranked top 25 business and law schools, and a burgeoning (recently founded) medical school. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, those in finance, big law, and medicine generally sit atop the social strata. Again, I’m sure making $120k in a STEM field in suburban Montgomery is an accomplishment for an Auburn grad…

To draw an analogy — Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has better STEM programs than Columbia. Columbia does not market itself as a STEM school, and is generally far superior to RPI.

In fact, most of the Ivies are not STEM schools and, as do most who succeed in polite society, value the arts, social sciences, and all that distinguish one civilization from another (though one may see Alabama as more of a third world country, which would explain your inability to understand this point). I’d love to hear you now claim Auburn is superior to most of the Ivies because it’s Alabama’s STEM school.

You attributed someone else's post as mine and have a problem with incoherence. Classic Bama fan behavior


So you haven’t been posting in this thread? And I’m not a Bama fan, as any minimally discerning mind could decipher from my username.

On behalf of the rest of tRant, we’ll accept your incoherent meltdowns in response as acknowledgement that your post has failed.

Go home. You're drunk.


That may be, but in other words, you have no substantive response.
[quote](HELLO STUDENT LOAN BILLS THAT WILL NEVER GET PAID OFF)[/quote

This may come as a shock to an ag institution, but many students major in intellectually ennobling “soft” subjects like history and philosophy, and then proceed to careers in law, finance, business, medicine, etc.

Understanding world history and fully exercising the English language, for example, are fairly good predictors of life success. I don’t think you’ll find too many purple haired baristas with nose rings coming out of U. Alabama, regardless of their major.

Oh, you're just worried about football? Im more concerned about academics. Academics is something to actually be proud.


^ Rather, I’m kicking through the goalposts that you erected. If you had claimed, “academics confined to the state of Alabama is something to be proud of”, then you’d have a point.
quote:

Pretty good. Auburn ranks better academically than Alabama in every ranking. And our graduates make more money. So, yeah, worked out pretty good. Oh, you're just worried about football? Im more concerned about academics. Academics is something to actually be proud.


You’re an agricultural college in Alabama. No one sees Auburn as a scholastic powerhouse outside of Alabama lol. Also, fairly certain than U. Alabama has a superior law school (Barnbillies don’t have one), business school, and in every academic discipline that defines civilization (history, literature, art, philosophy, theology, etc.).

The only people attending Auburn from superior states (FL, GA, TX, NC, VA, etc.) are those rejected from their state flagships.

I work with a couple of top PE firms in Birmingham, they’re all Bama and Vandy grads. Auburn produces the occasional engineer who makes $120k … which I suppose is an accomplishment in most of Alabama.

Your thread is embarrassing.

My son is a U.S. Attorney in D.C.


Former AUSA myself. Admirable work, but doesn’t give any insight into big law. Regarding your previous post, UVA and Duke objectively crush Vanderbilt (and outpace Gtown) in big law placement. That is an admission coming from someone who is no fan of the Blue Devils or Cavs.
quote:

parts of Arkansas and Oklahoma are more south than parts of Georgia. and all of Texas have you ever seen a map?


Are you really so obtuse and dense that you’re arguing that Oklahoma and Arkansas are more Deep South than Georgia? By that logic, Southern California is more “Southern” than Kentucky.

Is it possible that the term Southern (as well as “Deep South”, “Old South”, “Upper South”, etc.) is defined by culture, history, and topography more so than mere physical geography?

Have you graduated middle school?
OP is making this post because MO is ceaselessly jeered at for being cornbread Midwest rather than genteel South on this forum. It may not be classically old South, but OP is making the case that MO has more in common with other border Southern states (e.g., Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas) than leftist Canadian enclaves like Wisconsin and Minnesota. Is that fair, OP?

I'd easily rate Vanderbilt ahead of Duke and UVA for law. Especially Duke.


Then you don’t know much about big law.

Rumor has it that UNC, FSU and Miami want to go to the B1G because it’s a superior conference academically, athletically and soon to be monetarily after the next TV deal.


What are you smoking? Outside of the West Coast additions (excluding Oregon) and some of the original members (namely Northwestern and Michigan), the B10 is a collection of cornbread state schools and backup colleges in the Northeast. Oregon, Rutgers, Ohio State, Nebraska, etc. are not academic juggernauts.

Also, athletically? The SEC has owned the B10 in football, basketball, and baseball for the vast, vast majority of this century.

You must be a child (or a Midwest country bumpkin). No adult of capable mind could draw that analysis based on only two out of the past 26 years.

You’re also a societal irrelevant. You have no insight regarding the intentions of UNC, FSU, Miami, or any other school. You are of no importance and know no one of importance - the only rumors you enjoy are those posted publicly on social media and hold as much weight as they’re due.
quote:

You have no idea how much objective data I have behind that.


Would love to see studies, charts, or any other evidence of this objective data not based on your subjective life experiences.
Your anecdotal, subjective experience aside, the vast, vast majority of very successful business owners are very well educated. Also, most people will not be starting their own business in rural Louisiana. The men aged 25-35 who are making seven figures while working under another business owner are, likewise, very well educated.

I can find a purple-haired, ex-barista, Palestinian devotee with a high IQ - the anecdote doesn’t prove the point.

I’m sure he’s a well spoken fellow. And if I were to deny your accusation, I assume that’d only further convince you that you’re right.
