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.
I think you hit the nail on the head there. Clemson is right there at the BMW plant in Spartanburg, Mercedes is right down the road from U.A, Tech.. right here with Bellsouth so the local influence with the big schools is HUGE.
