My Journey to Alaska and back....again (and other Army/YankeeVol life adventures)

Did you see the 2nd line?
So you’re saying you agree with me?

It depends on what you mean by top school.

There's a difference between Vanderbilt and UTK or LSU
There's a difference between UTK or LSU and the University of Memphis
There's a difference between the University of Memphis and TN State
There's a difference between TN State and Strayer

 

[Orangeslice13]

Only because of people like you

Really?
So you don’t think you should show allegiance to your school? And you only feel that way because of people who love theirs?

Interesting

LSU has not gotten a dime from me*

*outside of my taxes which pays my GI Bill. Thanks to @Orangeslice13 as well thoughfor paying my tuition

**assuming he pays taxes

at the end of the day there’s really not.
A better name may give you a head start but the best person will end up on top……regardless of the university.

No problem at all.
The GI bill should be one of the few things not only protected but most likely expanded. Those who serve should be rewarded.

Buddy, as someone who works in higher education, it 100% does.

It also 100% depends on the industry

You should know I'm just having fun with you.

I know a guy who was kicked out of his adopted parents house at 18 with 20 bucks. He went to school on the GI bill. Finished with a PHD working part time to pay the difference. Built a practice and recently sold it to a corporation for over 10 million dollars. He’s about to turn 60.
The American dream still exists for those who work hard…thanks in part to the GI bill.

Always.
I think we go back far enough to know that about each other

I would think so. You're good people in my book.

A car lot would accept an MBA from South Harmon Institute of Technology

There is a collection of “stupid ass movies” that I can quote every word and love.

I’m old so some of mine are obscure and mostly unknown.
One of my favorites is “up the creek “

Absolutely. I'm sure we could go back and forth all day lol.

The better half doesn't understand how I can watch them or certain tv shows (South Park, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, etc.)
