Major: Electrical Engineering (This Major's Salary over time)
I graduated EE in '87. I did not get 1 interview or job offer. The degree is not ever a factor in my job interviews. I often work for Devry grads, ITT grads, or even people with no degree. I have had Renken grads chase me out of a job. The degree is useless. I sacrificed so much, and worked so hard for the degree, and Georgia Tech means nothing. There was no placement office. The southern bells are unfriendly. The male to female ratio is 10 to 1. You cannot even say hello to any Tech lady because they do not ever even look at you, when you walk by. The religious ones are even more unfriendly. The local corporations are not unfriendly, they are hostile to me. I have had school deans refuse to write a letter of recommendation.

The lower GPA you get from Ga Tech is a serious disadvantage. No employer anywhere compensates for Ga Tech low GPA's, this is one of many common lies. I can honestly say, you would be better off graduating from Mickey Mouse electrical engineering school with a 4.0 than Ga Tech with a 2.2. Interviewers always take a stab at me for my low GPA. No employer actually compensates for Ga Tech cruelty and low GPA's. When I went to Tech, I was denied C++ course. It was only allowed for Information Science majors. This alone should tell you what evil school Tech is. Robotics is also in the information science school, not electrical engineering.

The profs are creeps. Dr. Corso in the psychology department, was a vicious evil professor. He picked a text with no definitions, then gave 10 definition tests and marked all answers wrong. Because the text never followed a highlighted term with a definition, you could not fight back. Of course now you have Google now, not an option in '80s. The same trick is true of most departments. The texts chosen by Profs are useless. You will have to rely on your fraternity brothers to get help on how to do anything, however, the frats do not let anyone with a foreign last name in. Is this how everything is in the south? I would recommend going to a Northern school, where they are actually in your corner and trying to make you successful. This school ruined my life. There is no such thing as southern hospitality. That school was absolutely the worst break i have ever had.

I actually started working in engineering, only after I gave up on Georgia, and moved back to my native Ohio. They took me in, gave me work and I have become successful in engineering. But again, only after giving up on Georgia, and moving north. Georgia is absolutely the most racist, unfriendly place I have ever tried to live.
Foreign nationals should not attend Tech, or at the very least, change their last name to something British, so that they will fit in. Georgia businesses have the same policy for all resumes with a foreign last name, it's called the trash can. You should at the least change the name to something British like Nelson, or Johnston, because they actually fly the British flag at their capitol alongside the U.S. flag. However, we all know the one they are allegiance to. and it's not the American flag.

When you do business in Georgia, always video record the transaction, like for real estate closings business deals. Many Geogia stock brokers, realtors, surveyors, and closing attorneys make their living ripping off foreigners, and Yankees. Also, always know that you are always spied upon by GBI, KKK, and other racist organizations I say this, because any idea you have for an invention or business idea, will be their idea, if you know what i mean.

However, the worst thing about Georgia Tech is the prejudiced fellow student population. I cannot make friends with them, I cannot work at their companies, I cannot date their sisters, I cannot join their fraternities, i simply cannot anything. They are all young fellow students at Georgia Tech. I am white, but, all it took is a Hispanic sounding last name to make me an outsider. I felt like they were all felt I was a foreign Yankee to compete with and beat, and get rid of. To which I would say they were completely successful. I did not, can not survive at all in Georgia.

To further give you an idea about how unfriendly the fellow students are, I will tell you about my first quarter at Tech. I almost missed registration at O'keefe the first week of school, I only found out because my roommate had info, and was talking about it. He had received info in his student mailbox at the student center, I had not. I latter found out we shared mailboxes with another upper classman, because Tech did'nt have enough to go round. The other upper classman had been throwing out my mail. Tech did nothing about it.
I see occasional foreign engineers in the auto industry, however, they are never from a southern school, only from northern, and never from Georgia Tech.
I am removing this review because of harassment at work. Know that nothing on web is anonymous.
