You are basing that on numbers you pull out of where?
California EE's are more likely to find a job than Texas EE's.
What the fscsk did this thread turn into? You think we have an inherent lack of skill, because we're from Texas. That's bullsh!t and you just talking crap out of your ass. Silicon Valley EEs may get paid more, but there is a higher cost of living, and I don't think finding employment is hard for ANYONE where I go to school with! This should not be a pissing contest and should focus on the topic at hand.
Hey, you are the one who brought up EE's. Guess what I may move to Texas and keep my CA salary. Then you'll be my b!tch.
Stanford and Cal people aren't exactly suffering either. I don't have anything against UT Austin. But Austin is more like Silicon Valley than it is like the rest of Texas. Take out Silicon Valley companies and their money and see how many EE's Austin employs.
you are the most elitist person I have ever heard speak.
you are talking as if Silicon Valley companies are giving out charity by offering jobs in Austin. There obviously is a reason why they put their money in Austin. If Austin engineering was inferior like you state, then they wouldn't be here, plain and simple.
The entire premise of your hypothesis is contradictory.
by chance, what branch of EE do you work in?
I don't have a hypothesis. I am just responding to these nonsensical comments from Texans with inferiority complexes who are obviously misinformed about the employment situation for EE's in silicon valley, or have info from 2 years ago. If you are happy with Texas, and Texas education, I am happy for you. If not, there isn't much I can do about it, so quit taking your fat aggression out on me![]()
[sarcasm] you're so witty with your ability to weave insults in to your replys. Man, its too subtle for me to detect. [/sarcasm]
Hey, at least I don't have to explicitly point out my sarcasm.![]()
I'm not even sure what your point in this whole thread is.
Lets look at the progression of posts.
you first post " everything is dumber in Texas"
beer replies " A texas EE degree is worth just as much as an EE degree from somewhere else"
you reply " Texas EEs get paid 10K less out of college compared to silicon valley EEs"
and that is where you make your first logical fallacy. All of a sudden, Texas EEs mean those working in texas and not those who graduated from UT Austin.
Unless if you really mean a undergrad coming out of Stanford or Berkley makes 10K more than a UT austin EE undergrad ( i highly doubt this), if you can find the statistical numbers though, more power to you.
I guess I should point out my sarcasm for folks in this forum as well.
I don't have anything against Texas, except that Texans obviously can't take a joke and need to grow thicker skin.
On a more serious note,
People, even thieves >> Property. If they are hijacking you, yes, shoot them. But if they are stealing your car, let police and insurance companies take care of it. You can get your property back, but you can't bring a life back if you kill someone.
