[QUOTE="IEEEWreck, post: 34397, member: 617"] Here's how I think we sell Georgia Tech. GT Engineers (and Architects, by the bye) face some incredibly tough classes the likes of which even MIT and Stanford seldom present. But, intending no offense, let's face it: our football team is, with exceptions, gonna be ridin' the M train (I guess B train now?) I'd make my pitch to the NFL bound start with a montage of famous big name NFL stars from SEC schools in the following order: College ball, NFL ball, bankruptcy court. Straight up say that the NFL isn't a magic ticket even for those that actually make it. Compare expected earnings for a GT business grad over a career vs an NFL player for a career. I bet they're not all that different, given the 20 more years or so the B grad gets to work. Is it going to be hard? **** yes it will be hard- because being a man is hard. But men have the power to take care of their family because they make it for themselves. That's the difference- GT can get you to the NFL [insert supporting reel here] but GT men turn the NFL into a lifetime of opportunity. The factory schools can offer all the bright lights and attention that little boys crave. But if you stay a little boy 15 years from now your broke *** will spend every day wondering what might have been. What we offer is the self respect to disdain the flash and circus. Because the big show is bull****. And if you're smart enough to figure that out then maybe you have what it takes to be a Tech man. What we need is the conviction to speak the truth and the credibility to say it. We need alumni in the high schools and middle schools helping coach football and robotics clubs. We need these kids to have concrete examples of how Georgia Tech changes lives. Every day these highschool kids hear that they're brilliant athletes. And they are. When we talk to a prospect, we can offer something almost unique- we think they're intelligent, and we actually give a ****. Not everyone is smart enough to see that for what it is. But I think that with the right networks, enough will. [/QUOTE]
