[QUOTE="laoh, post: 359314, member: 1783"] Fair question but I'll make a rhetorical point. I (alums) also took e-mag, thermo, some were crazy enough to take organic chem. I also went through an electrical circuits class. Now ask me and others how many of those classes we're actually putting to use. You'd be surprised that it's almost zero (excluding the NASA genius alums out there... that ain't me unfortunately)... Some have started their own business. Some teachers. Stay-at-home mom/dads. Some are IT professionals. And most of us are probably just like everyone else and work in corporate America, in the rat race. I work for a software company. Why did I need to take thermo? If we want to introduce basketweaving and cowtipping 101 into our curriculum to attract more athletes, sure, have at it, but do note that most of the alums will probably feel insulted that our brand and our education is being diluted, especially after having survived the torture called Tech. We are a proud bunch of folks with sometimes fragile egos. Plus, you take a walk around campus and while it's leaps and bounds over a campus that resembled a mental institution when I was there, you just can't compete with taking a recruit to a 100,000 seat on-campus stadium (power schools) or going to South Beach and taking a walk next to the blue waters.
