TL owners level of education

Okay, we've seen ethnicity of TL owners. I did a search for education and did not find anything, so

What's your highest degree?
What subject is your degree?
What college did you/are you going to?

this may tell who is technically-minded, who is artsy, and who is a business type.

In the fall i will start a BA in criminology at LSU. I just finished community college after 4 years of marines.

It's a "forum" right? Woulnd't it be nice to know about the people you are talking to?

I've only been around here for a couple weeks and I've seen lots of repeat threads about rattles and DVD-As. This may be interesting to people.

Who gives a sh*t about this stuff?? Clearly people w/ inferiority complexes...

"My Acura is better than a Bimmer..."

"I make this much money a year"

"I have this degree... and I'm this age..."

Grow up .. if you are really losing sleep over these issues on the Acura forum, then there are certain truisms that exist, at least in my eyes:

1) undereducated
2) underpaid
3) cannot afford a nicer car than an Acura TL
4) and you are tacky

And yes, this is a forum, so I have complete right to voice my opinion on this ridiculous subject.

Hmmm..perhaps you are right. Anyhoo, this thread is giving me a superiority complex, as I went to Stanford - the greatest univeristy in the history of the world.

Sorry, Lore.

We can now start counting down for when this thread gets moved to Ramblings.....

Hahah... when I read the first part of this post, I was thinking to myself "oh no he didn't!"

But you did.

And while I will agree that Stanford's graduate school of business is probably among the top 3 schools in the nation, I can't say that about your undergraduate program, which is where it really counts. =) In any case, I just finished 3 weeks of doing some work there. (They're one of our clients) Had to resist before bringing out The Axe... but that's okay, my rear license plate holder represents.

GO BEARS! =)

I can't speak for the business school. I'm an engineer and I know that Stanford is the best engineering school in the country, with MIT being a distant, distant, distant second. And CalTech, in third place, being a place where freaks and ghouls congregate.

Hehehe, Stanford!


(Nice looking campus, though. My friend who earned her Master's at Stanford this past year thought it was somewhat segregated).
Lore, I know you are being tongue-in-cheek!!!

One of the better Universities in the western U.S. is the great University of Southern California!!!
