I wasn't very good at math and I guess maybe you majored in art rather than science. Isn't Coopers Union famous for providing a great education with full scholarships? Doesn't that mean zero tuition? If you divide a billion dollars a year by zero what do you get? :)

that's a hard scale to quantify because if you take a college like Hampton University in Hampton, VA (about mid list), I bet the majority of the graduates stay in the general area (SE Virginia). If you look UC Berkley, again assuming the majority stay in the bay area, the reported income HAS to be higher.... I realize not every graduate stays in the area and it largely depends on the school (Harvard or Yale have people from everywhere), but I feel that's a variable that can't be ignored...

Now, what you need is the sweet gig I'm starting next year...
The Coast Guard is paying me to go to school for two years to finish my BS in Business/Health Care Admin and paying my E7 salary while I'm going... I don't go to work, just to school... Should give me some extra time to ride! :D :banana:

I divide my billion by the $300 fee, so it all stays real. :banana:

You get infinity, which I think was G's point. Of course, you get the same answer with $100/year, which just goes to show how tricky these kinds of comparisons can be.

That survey is kind of dumb, imho, but you're a Cooper Union grad?
Architecture? Hejduk?
No matter the major, much respect, man. What a great school!
