^ This brings me to this assumption as noted above with the "University of Alabama, BMW.. Clemson, AT&T.. GA Tech" I wonder if colleges within a certain area are what I call "local influencers." Those being Colleges that more than likely generate Alumi that will be placed in a job because of their graduation location.

For example, at Shawnee State (SSU) 100% of the students that graduate from there that happen to be in the medical field, almost regardless of that major are placed immediately into work at one of the 4 major hospitals within the city or even within the State of Ohio. I kno 10 friends that I graduated from highschool with that ended up in the medical field, from R/N's to MD's. They ALL landed at job/career that netted between 40K to 160K in OHIO!!!

Maybe my school just isnt for me since there is nothing in the metro of my small town that has I.T.
