Which state are you in?? In some states, if you work 20 hours per week at the right kind of jobs on campus, you qualify for the in-state tuition waiver/discount.

This only works for public state university.

spoil_,

1) Where you are doing the ADP should be able to tell you that.

2) Don't you keep your high school's report cards?? That is your transcript...

Apache32,

There are multiple levels of STUPIDITY.

The LOWEST level is people that are STUPID that proud to be STUPID. There are NO HELPS for those kind of people since they BELIEVE they do not need to LEARN.

Folks,

It does not matter where you go for undergraduate in Engineering as long as it is accredited in USA.

alxa3021,

<< because interviewers rather have an graduate from say University of Berkeley compared to Snow College or even Iowa State University. Well what I'm saying is for those of you who plan to work in America, after graduating from an American college.>>

This is a a bunch of BS. I interviewed and hired people in USA. So, what is YOUR BACKGROUND in making those statement.

<< I'm just suggesting that it may be better if he keeps searching, he shouldnt lock yourself in at such an early stage. There are better schools which are also provide more value for money.>>

I agree with this statement. But, I DISAGREE with the ROLE of the undergraduate degree as SIGNIFICANT.

A) If a person is VERY SMART, a person will get very high CGPA regardless of where they go.

B) If a person is NOT very smart, a person will get LOUSY CGPA even if they go to a good school.

I had worked for 20+ years. For engineering, the ability to self study is the ULTIMATE determinant of success. That is INDEPENDENT of what school that you go to.

alxa3021,

<<Also, I'm talking about fresh graduates trying to get jobs, not someone who has 1-5 years experience. Your education pretty much disappears from your resume once you start working and accumulating work experience. >>

So, why be a FRESH GRAD without EXPERIENCE??

I did not graduate from a famous university. But, I worked part-time in the university computing center for 5 years before I graduated. Hence, I was NEVER a FRESH GRADUATE without EXPERIENCE. Now, if you are an interviewer, would you hire

A) A fresh graduate from FAMOUS UNIVERSITY without EXPERIENCE

B) A fresh graduate from not FAMOUS UNIVERSITY with 5 years of experience.

I would always go for (B). In fact, (B) can apply for jobs that are NEVER open for (A) to begin with. (B) get a jump start in career to begin with. He started with a job that pay for his experience.

1) It is CHEAPER because the university costs less.

2) He get PAID by his job while going through college.

3) He get a jump start in his career a few years ahead of OTHERS.

Your way is a NORMAL WAY. And, it is AN EXPENSIVE WAY. And, it is NOT as powerful as (B).

Average people are not rich. Rich people are not average. You have a choice to be AVERAGE or RICH. To be RICH, you have to THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. Aka, do not be NORMAL and FOLLOW what normal people will do.

I am showing a different way. And, a way for people that a BETTER WORKER than PURE SCHOLARLY type.

P.S.: One of the GOAL to attend UNIVERSITY is to have a CAREER. Now, there are MANY WAYS to REACH that GOAL. Having a degree is a NECESSARY but INSUFFICIENT to compete with OTHERS. So, WHAT can you do to differentiate YOURSELF from OTHERS??
