    I was going to say when someone mentioned Mizzou being hit hard lately, their claim to fame has long been the J school and with the complete demolition of making a strong career in Journalism that started the last 15 years, it's not much of a draw.

    I just had the Shingrex vax. I heard like you did and was prepared for the worst. Really, to be honest, I was kinda anxious about it for a few days before. These old people are full of it. The DTAP shot hurt worse. Covid shot hurt WAY worse.

    Parrot Bay Rum in a Sonic Slushie bro was a high school all-timer for the incognitio drinko.

    That;s funny, but this is waht he was probably talking about, from the other (bad) UT: ORANGE AND WHITE NATION Eight years ago, Derrick Brodus was pulled off the “frat couch” to kick against MTSU https://www.wate.com/sports/orange-and-white-nation/eight-years-ago-derrick-brodus-was-pulled-off-the-frat-couch-to-kick-against-mtsu/#:~:text=Fast-forward to game day,suited up for the Vols.

    NIL programs for the flyover left behinds are really going to attract the right players, I tell ya! But this is pretty funny, nonetheless.

    Bates is a prestigious name in Liberal Arts, @Bateshorn, so your experience is a valid one. But liberal arts at a 4 year, non-prestigious school, at full boat tuition, and without the inkling of a career plan or post-graduate plan, is probably not a great investment. Seems like a reasonable stance.

    I think you are being smart and being proactive never hurt. It doesn't necessarily mean it will help in the long run as the child's personality and capabilities and intangibles will determine what happens, but if you are doing it right in a nurturing and responsible way (which it sounds like you are) it can't hurt.

    Oh for sure, 100% agree with you. The rare top of the class who has network already in Wall St. can potentially do it if he crushes the interviews and superdays, but I was calling out the dad of the Tulsa business school guy who said "lots of Tulsa University business school guys are getting into JP Morgan Chase and Blackrock and GS" when in reality it was one guy in the Marcus division of GS and actually zero at Blackrock according to the link provided. I went to McCombs and there weren't a lot of those opportunities out of undergrad who did that from UT, was my point, much less a less reputable school.

    Gotcha yep that checks out. And now with DJ Solomon on the hot seat for that bad bet and trying to sell GreenSky at a loss, those opportunities are dried up I assume. And I’m not trying to knock TxSt or Tulsa specifically but for the knowledge sharing of this thread so parents aren’t thinking their kid at Tulsa or Oklahoma State is going to get the same recruitment opportunity for analysts in finance and banking at top and mid firms that only a handful of McCombs kids will get out of undergrad.

    To be fair, we didn't visit Texas State and it wasn't on our radar. Things change, and sounds like things have changed for the better, as my opinion of Texas State is frozen from 25 years ago(when it was called Southwest Texas State or something) and I was at UT, but...it felt like a second tier school all around, from the second rate Greek life to academics to floating the square or whatever that whole thing was and back then most of the Texas State students would drive into Austin for the weekends for the house parties and 6th street and football games anyways, so there wasn't a real sense of Texas State having much of an identity outside of UT rejects who wanted to be adjacent to Austin and UT.

    Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses [Alou] to Sandy Koufax.

    Your experience is similar to mine. You didn't mention at Auburn, every educational session loves to tell you that Tim Cook went to Auburn. The only difference is I think TTU > Texas State.

    It’s not just UT hasn’t grown population but has enrollment shrunk at UT by 20%? I could have sworn it was 50k when I was in undergrad, a dang near generation and I read it’s at 40k today?
  17. FunDip
    Agreed “lots of” was not the appropriate words as in that link nobody from that year, not even one, were recruited to Blackrock.

    Sounds like the employer is being a Petty Betty and are peeved she is leaving. Did she leave them in a lurch or to go to a competitor or any other explanation for the pettiness? I'd probably ignore it and if it escalated take care of it.
  19. FunDip
    Is that 5 per class? 5 in total? Either way, that's awesome for you and your school, but 5 doesn't equate to "lots of" in the recruitment cycle for finance IMO.

    Virginia tech surprises me. I had always heard it was a premiere spot, like Georgia Tech but a tad bit worse.

    My best friend went to UO. He was born and raised in SF, but couldn't get into any good Cali schools, and UO was easy. He's 15 years older than applicants today, but when he was going to UO it was known as the Bay Area safety school where kids in SF go who want a party school with decent education and career prospects. And Oregon Ducks football fans are surprisingly rabid and delusional.
  22. FunDip
    No offense, but the bold? There's not "lots of" McCombs kids getting into IB, PE and hedgefunds. Hard for me to believe Tulsa is a hot bed pipeline for Goldman and Blackrock.
  23. FunDip
    Agreed, but I'm talking about situations where meetings are had, people aren't paying attention and things are harmed. There is one guy who, like clockwork, will ask to repeat the question every single time telling on himself that he is never paying attention.
  24. FunDip
    I'm referencing people who are disrupting the flow of the meeting so we can listen to their jokes because they can't help themselves. Half of the people in the room are scrolling their phones or typing away on their laptops. All of this leads me to believe the meetings really aren't all that necessary or productive. Or, half of the people scrolling on their phones and not paying attention is part of the reason there is a push to return to work and increase productivity. They ruined it for us all!
  25. FunDip
    I'll give the other side of this coin that is my pet peeve. People showing up on meetings and then being dead silent, multitasking and doing other things, and not engaging in any sort of social small talk or niceties. It's basic human behavior to smile and fake like you are enjoying yourself, you would have to do it in person, but when you can just mute and scroll on your phone and not pay attention, it kills the vibes and is just constantly awkward.
