I havent posted here in a while even though I do check the boards out regularly still....

I saw this headline in the Dayton Daily News today and thought I would share....I cant read the full article because I dont subscribe to the online edition or even get the paper at my house...

TOO POOR I guess!!!!!!  Maybe I will just have to read this at the Library!!!!  Or try and look over someones shoulder while waiting at the bus stop!!!!

This was my thought.  It'd be unfair to make a blanket statement like that, but looking at a large scale number like average salary, I am guessing there are more graduates reaping the benefits of nepotism from Miami than OU and OSU...which is enough to tilt the scales in their favor.  I'd also add another huge unsupported generalization that your average Miami student/grad places a greater emphasis on salary while someone from OU may consider the nature and demands of the job a little more.

Love the loyalty...but my guess is that Miami is considered a superior academic school in many publications.  Thus they can recruit students with higher scores....and get better jobs....  With that being said, Go Bobs

I don't know specifically where Miami's strengths lie, but when you consider that some of OHIO's strongest programs are communications and Fine Arts, that lends itself to a lot of smart graduates who are also starving artists.

 Miami can't hold a candle to OHIO in graduate and professional programs.  Those rankings you speak of are based on UG programs.

Right,, so many of Ohio's top students graduate knowing they aren't going to make much money because of the profession they are going into.

The biggest reason is simple.  For all of Miami's b.s. about being just like a liberal arts college, it is an extremely vocational school.  Two-thirds of the students there major in business or education.  There are very, very few true liberal arts majors and most of those tend to be pre-law and pre-med.  I have never met a Miami alum who had been a true liberal arts major--because he loved it rather than because he thought it the best way to law or med school.  In contrast, I've known many Ohio (and OSU) students who major in physics or history solely due to their interest in it.

How does that get around the OSU comparison?  OSU's average scores have been much higher than Miami for some time now.

Everything on this board will eventually come around to someone bringing up OSU.

We'uns poor OU folk just surpassed the $450 MEELYUN goal of Ohio's Promise Lives Campaign. So I s'pose we ain't doin' all that bad.

And Miami sucks.
