  Well, you could use some face-saving. I know you get that it's futile at this point tho.

  I'll settle for just one. One. It should take a brilliant mind like yours all of 5 minutes.

  Cool. The rest of us are laughing at you. Still impressive that The Smartest Man on the Internetz still can't manage to turn on his browser spell check.

  This was your "proof".
  
  
  
  
  
  I.e. you have no proof.

  The proof doesn't exist. When no proof exists, you can use a proxy to provide a correlation with your claim.
  
  I realize that is above your head, enjoy!

  Extremely poor deflect, even for someone as practiced as you. The request was for you to back your idiotic claim that most journalism majors end up in inside sales.
• sportchampps

  I know about 50 people who graduated from the Scripps School of Journalism and not a single one of them have a job in sales or even started in a sales position. I would say about half of them went into advertising as copywriters. There salaries do suck though I think most started somewhere between 24-30k. I know about 5-10 of them left the field all together and went into corporate retail with jobs like merchandising and logistics. I know most of them make between 45-70 k. I know 2 got jobs for ESPN behind the scenes and a few others who are news broadcasters in small cities. Journalism isn t usually a very high paying field but the best in the business can make wonderful money. Just look at how many OU graduates have went on to become big names in the journalism world. If you watch NBC ABC CBS ESPN or read SI Maxim and the New York Times you are reading or watching a few OU Graduates.
  
  I graduated HS in 2002 right around the time OSU was raising admission standards and was accepted to both of their business schools. I choose OU because I wanted to be outside of the Columbus area. OSU is for sure the better school today in 90% of the programs but as long as a student chooses the right major and gets good grades there are good paying jobs out there.

  What else are they going to do? Work for the almost extinct newspaper and magazine industry? LOL

  Yeah, sounds like you been fed bs too. OU is not a good school, no matter what their pamphlet says.

  Also to attend Palmer Fest or Halloween you don't have to be invited all you have to do is drive down to Athens park and walk down the street.

  I have common sense. You do realize the claim you making is that students with lower grades are more successful than student with higher grades? I find that outright hilarious.

  Wow...an even worse deflect. Since no source is forthcoming, let's move on. I think you've had enough on this particular point.
  
  
  Next question:
  
  If being #124 out of 4500 "sucks," at what rank does a college/university cease sucking? Is it safe to assume we can tell the alumni of UK, Louisville, DePaul, Seton Hall, Temple, George Mason, Kansas State, Rutgers, St. Johns, Maryland, UMass, et al to just pack it in?

  The only claim I'm making is that you have proved nothing and provided no evidence.

  There are plenty of mediocre paper pushing jobs from those beyond the top 100. They need positions too. Enjoy boring work for low pay the rest of your life.

  I would agree with your claim. I don't need to provide evidence of common sense just like I don't need to provide evidence that water is wet.
  
  I find it hilarious you are trying to play faux intellectual and keep running your head into a brick wall. Carry on.

  Well the school worked great for me and my girlfriend. I make around 70 k a year as a CPA and my girlfriend makes about 60k as a planner for express. As a couple who are both under the age of 30 I'll take our salaries and my shitty piece of paper from OU. Your salary has more to do with your chosen profession Then your college choice.

  I am embarrassed that you claim to be associated with OSU.

  Also, 70k is pretty good money. That is the exception not the rule though, at least at OU. Plus, depending on how long you've been out of school, 70k is peanuts. If someone offered me 70k I'd laugh and I've only been out of school for a little bit.
