[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 289318, member: 844"] I think Gt alums have a very insulated mindset. Their school buddies from GT are successful, their professional colleagues are successful...therefore everyone must either be successful or just too lazy to get in and out of Tech. I have had a career in manufacturing in several Southern states prior to teaching and, by choice, have always chosen to live in rural areas (fits my lifestyle better). Based on my professional experiences and the people I have dealt with over the years (many of whom were good, honest and productive people) in the rural South, less than 1% of them would be capable of getting into (much less out of) Tech's engineering programs. (I can't speak for the old IM or newer Business degree path as I don't know the rigor relative to the engineering departments.Maybe the number changes to 3%? 5% but this is purely speculative) Maybe some of you alums in different career paths and/or living in the suburbs or up in the Northeast would dispute this number. (I may in fact be wrong as it is just an opinion...but if it is wrong, it's not very far off the actual number). As I said, my high school has produced [U]maybe[/U] 5 kids in the years I have taught that could have made it into Tech. Out of 500+ graduates. [/QUOTE]
