Virtually all of my students are finding decent jobs.

I'd like to see your stats. What college? What degree?


Good question. I don't think there are really many people out there who
would make Bill's statement.


All I will say further is that one of our students got a job as a
software developer with Microsoft last year.


that means nothing to me. I don't respect MS.
Google +1
MS -10

I respect more of what I see coming out of the open foundation than from
MS.. I don't find MS software that good. Unfortunately Open Foundation
stuff doesn't pay the bills.

You only represented one person.


Perhaps it's a matter of defining what the
phrase "decent jobs" means to Bill. Having graduated 4 kids from
college, I
know from first hand knowledge that Bill's statement does not
represent the
norm. I don't believe it even represents his experience...
