[quote=sdduuuude]If you go to grad school, pay the big bucks and go to a top school. This way only 1/3 of your education is expensive and you still get the big-name school on the resume, and you get the better education when you are more mature and actually interested in learning something.[/quote]

I do not know of a single graduate program in engineering, at least among any of the top schools, that costs the students anything. Stipends probably are at least $30K (and maybe well over that) at any of the top programs.

I can only speak for my field of education – chemical engineering – but save for a few counterexamples, many of the top rated schools are public schools. A Stanford undergraduate degree holds no more weight than a degree from the University of Illinois, for example.

As long as you are a good student in an accredited program, you can cherry pick your graduate schools – even the top ones – because your competition is greatly limited. On top of that, since you are covered by a stipend the tuition is not a factor. Not that a graduate degree automatically means a lot, but I digress.

I realize this isn’t a typical situation, but unless you are going to law school, I think the expensive school thing never will pay off. My better half may disagree with me, of course.

[quote=outtamojo]Just the excuse I need to buy those prime steaks at Costco rather than the choice.[/quote]

They are worth it, though – at least for the sirloin.

I got some merely choice T-bones there last month that were downright yummy, but I had my heart broken when informed that it was a special purchase, and I shouldn’t expect to see them too often. Had to settle for the fillets…
