Some Big Time Recruits

[SoldierGriz]

I should have know that soldier as our family has been involved with ACC schools. My son was recruited by Clemson in another sport.

Wow...congrats to your son...proud parents I am sure.

How well does Georgia Tech recruit against Clemson?

That was my point.

Guys...guys....Clemson offers virtually every engineering degree known to mankind. ..which was also my point. Geez...tough crowd.

Good point. There are so many Clemson players going into those fields. I know Etienne and Lawrence were swayed by Clemson's engineering programs.

Fair point...obviously a different level. Having a kid who had school choices, degree options do matter...to some.

In my humble opinion UM has a “watered down” curriculum. Our nursing program is an associates degree where msu’s Is a bachelors. We have an exercise science degree and so does msu. Both schools have a business school. We have a pharmacy school but limited acceptance and the same for physical therapy. msu has engineering, architecture, and like I said a business school, exercise science degree,and a bachelors degree in nursing. The list goes on and on so unless you can convince students that forestry or geology is the thing of the future um seems limited when competeting with msu (in this age) in regards to degree programs. We do have much better facilities but this program needs to start winning to mitigate the shortcomings in its curriculum.

Tech is hurting? News to me

Well it has been in the news the past month: https://nbcmontana.com/news/local/montana-tech-enrollment-continues-to-decline

Interesting, thanks for the link

Spot on here.

Some good points for sure. I would add UM also has a good college of education too (exercise science actually falls under that college). UM business school WAS top in the state, not sure about anymore. There are also meaningful degrees in political science at UM. I guess instead of "watered down" I would call it "limited" (with the exception of nursing). Once we as a society realize the value in something other than engineering UM will be a very strong option again. Hell it still is, people just seem to think otherwise.

The business school is still tops in the state. The Masters in Accounting program also has one of the highest CPA exam pass rates in the country.

Holy shit did this thread go sideways. Yay.

Philosophy, romance languages, and tes even poly sci.. or data analytics, artificial intelligence, and robotics...

Gotta adjust.

AI and robotics are beginning to replace lower level engineers in Silicon Valley and LA....So, maybe the liberal arts are on to something. The times are changing, faster than our ability to keep up.

Seems the big issue is with Petroleum Engineering specifically and not engineering as a whole.

A family member of mine, VP of a major company, once told me that Liberal Arts degrees provide excellent education backgrounds for people wanting to move up the corporate ladder.

I agree. Rigorous liberal arts, and I don't know what UM is in that regard, teaches students how to think. It prepares them to go to professional schools, as well as enter most parts of the jobe market. In this fast changing and fast paced day and age, and with new types of jobs being crated constantly, liberal arts can also prepare kids to be able to react and adapt to the changing world and new jobs.

Listen to Bodnar on this subject.

I found that an engineering degree also works well. In engineering, generally you analyze a problem, and break down to solve it (for all disciplines). Works the same for management, when I was not using my degree, people would ask me how I felt about not using the degree I had earned. My response was, I use my degree every day in management. At one time I was a Regional Manager/VP in a non related to my degree career.

Although focused differently, Engineering and some Liberal Arts degrees focus on critical analysis and thinking; both of which are essential for management positions.

Maybe someone will be able to start a new topic leaving out the word time and it would read
“Some BIG Recruits”. :beef:
