As I stated in my some of my posts, DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT COLLEGES TELL YOU concerning earning potentials! College is a business, nothing more. The more students they pump in and out the door, the more money they make. Just like the proverb about Las Vegas goes...who do you think pays for those fancy buildings?

Judging from the job listings in this part of the country, I would say the same thing goes for a bachelors degree as well. My point here is not to burst anyone's bubble, just shed a ray of reality amongst all of the collegiate lies. Insure you do your research concerning what degree you pursue, while a general degree is easier/quicker to complete, it may not be worth the paper its written on once the job search commences (especially true if you have the infamous Excelsior "Cracker Jack" looking diplomas!
). Another point that I garnered from the article is that it DOES matter what school one attends, at least in the earnings category. I guess in the end, you do get what you pay for. That should get some interesting rebuttals going....
