Most of the big earners that I've known were engineers with a MBA or been in the business long enough to network with the major corporations, so this gels nicely with real world data. I'm with you on the 3.9 from San Jose State versus 2.5 from Berkeley. I've landed some pretty high profile internships and jobs alongside students from MIT and such... wasn't all that impressed. Their education was just as good as mine (from Virginia Tech - another engineering school), but it all depends on how much you're willing to put into it. .-= Matt SF´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SteadfastFinances/~3/iHQfqzRemW0/" rel="nofollow">Restaurant Meals You Can Make at Home with Leftover Turkey</a> =-.
