Getting out of Riverside

Colleges & Universities A-Z University of California - Riverside

<p>"You're right, where you went to school has a huge impact on the job market. But after your first job, generally, where you went to school becomes mitigated to almost nothingness. "</p>

<p>Which is important, because when employers see just how incompetent their UCR employees are, they'll be changing jobs in no time.</p>

<p>"UCR may have a poor alumni network, and a low giving rate (not that I trust US News with their statistic, but perhaps it's close or accurate). "</p>

<p>OH, it's VERY ACCURATE, my friend. </p>

<p>"Three strikes? Perhaps one. Why three?"</p>

<p>Having "UC Riverside" on your resume is so bad, that it doesn't just count as one strike, but as three.</p>

<p>"And again, how is it that UCR and UCI have a 'profound" difference in perception?"</p>

<p>UCR = the worst UC in the system up til Merced opened, the least competent and motivated graduates, etc., probably with no useful life experience because they spent 4 years in a hick-ridden smogtown.
UCI = middle-tier UC, graduates probably okay, not UCLA/Caltech caliber, but still hirable. </p>

<p>"And ucr and ucm? Not that UCM has any alumni, but how could you think that they're viewed as equals? They have no track record- positive or negative."</p>

<p>No track-record is better than NEGATIVE track record. An employer would probably consider them equal in the sense of for both graduates of both schools, "hire only if absolutely desperate to fill this spot." Usually, this might mean janitorial or gas-pumping work.</p>

<p>"And unexceptional people from UCLA-Caltech-ect will be viewed as the unexceptional from UCR," but perhaps those that are somewhat exceptional from those schools will be viewed higher than the very exceptional from UCR.</p>

<p>No. Even the crappiest students from UCLA/Caltech (provided they graduate) will be recruited for a job once they graduate. They will be highly competitive for numerous reasons that I have already mentioned here and elsewhere, JUST because of the school they came from. On the other hand, even the most exceptional students from UCR will have to really prove themselves...i'm talking a total ball-busting resume, to even get an interview.</p>

<p>A lot of what you say goes off of the assumption that every UCR employee is bad, and employers do not like them at all. That's a pretty big assumption, and at least some of the UCR alums must be decent employees. </p>

<p>Isn't dealing with all thos hicks and breathing that terrible smoggy air life experience? I mean, if an employer sees that you lives through that, he or she will know you can live through hell, right?</p>

<p>Because nobody is searching to hire UCR grads. Every company, Mr. Absolutist, everybody in the planet hates UCR and its graduates, every single one of them. And the only things UCR (and UCM) students can do is pump gas or be janitors. That's it.</p>

<p>I can't really imagine that people with 2.0's from almost every major from UCLA will be "recruited" for much of anything unless they know someone really well in a company. Caltech might be a different story, but most students who graduate with 2.0's from Berkeley and UCLA within most majors are going to be actively recruited? Give me a break.</p>

<p>"A lot of what you say goes off of the assumption that every UCR employee is bad, and employers do not like them at all. That's a pretty big assumption, and at least some of the UCR alums must be decent employees."</p>

<p>I never made the argument that ALL _<strong><em>'s are _</em></strong>'s. That's purely your lack of reading comprehension kicking in again.</p>

<p>"Isn't dealing with all thos hicks and breathing that terrible smoggy air life experience? I mean, if an employer sees that you lives through that, he or she will know you can live through hell, right?"</p>

<p>That has got to be THE most mind-boggling brainless response I've heard from you so far. I don't even know where to begin.</p>

<p>"Because nobody is searching to hire UCR grads. Every company, Mr. Absolutist, everybody in the planet hates UCR and its graduates, every single one of them. And the only things UCR (and UCM) students can do is pump gas or be janitors. That's it."</p>

<p>These are your inferences and yours exclusively. Refer to previous comment about reading comprehension.</p>

<p>Again, lack of experience with the real world and talking out of your a$$ again. With few exceptions, employers could care less what your undergrad GPA was. GPA only matters for applications to grad school.</p>

<p>It's sarcasm, you fool. Who is the one who lacks reading ability? Where's your reading comprehension if you can't even understand sarcasm?</p>

<p>"It's sarcasm, you fool. Who is the one who lacks reading ability? Where's your reading comprehension if you can't even understand sarcasm?"</p>

<p>No, I do believe you were attacking arguments based on their absolute and literal meaning, rather than their clearly intended meaning. Nice try, but no.</p>

<p>Believe what you want. I was mocking you. If you can't read that, that's your deal, and your lack of reading comprehension.</p>

<p>"Believe what you want. I was mocking you. If you can't read that, that's your deal, and your lack of reading comprehension."</p>

<p>If you have to explicitly explain to someone that you're mocking him/her...</p>

<p>Then you're dealing with . . .</p>

<p>"Then you're dealing with . . ."</p>

<p>I'm gonna let your think about my retort a little harder...because I JUST don't think you're quite on the same page...</p>

<p>If you can't read the text well, I could explain it to you, or someone else could. What do you want from me? Your inability to read well isn't my problem.</p>

<p>"If you can't read the text well, I could explain it to you, or someone else could. What do you want from me? Your inability to read well isn't my problem."</p>

<p>This is another fine example of you saying something that probably makes sense to YOURSELF internally, but not to a third party. This is a common writing mistake seen in middle school children and in a few underperforming high school students.</p>

<p>UCRiverbed</p>

32

<p>Which mistake is that, exactly? And why don't you ask a third party, instead of speculating out of your rear, as you normally do?</p>

33

<p>I don't need to ask a third party to reinforce the concept that when you make excessive use of pronouns with no clear antecedents, it's impossible for anyone, except for perhaps the original writer, to interpret. Not only that, but your reasoning is terrible to begin with. There really isn't much more to say here.</p>

<p>My writing is clear enough for intelligent people to understand. I'm sorry that you're having difficulty. Continue asking for clarification when you have trouble with something.</p>

35

<p>Clear enough for me. Keep it up.</p>

36

<p>I don't think that you want to know the truth about Riverside.</p>

37

<p>I go there, but you'd know better me.</p>

38

<p>UCRiverbed, go **** yourself. You just go into some kids UCR thread to tell them that UCR graduates won’t get good jobs? Seriously, what is your problem? I get the impression you have some serious mental issues that you feel the need to come and degrade other people for absolutely no reason.</p>
