@LasMa

Both systems are good; it depends on what your educational goals are. CSU is known for training professionals, which is what you’re interested in. Here in Sacto, CSUS has well-regarded programs in teaching, business, criminal justice, and computer science.</p>

<p>I think the UC system is better for kids who either aren’t sure what they want to do, or want general knowledge, or are prepping for grad school. But your career goal is well-defined, and I think CSU would be an excellent choice for you.</p>

<p>One suggestion: Rather than telling your parents everything you hate about UC, try selling them on everything good about CSU.

</p>

<p>Pretty much second that. If you are keen on getting a degree that sets you up immediately for a job, CSU is probably the place to go.</p>

@raiderfan4eva

many of the UC students (to me) don’t really have any substance to them

</p>

<p>That’s a negative, yet somewhat vague statement. There’s probably vapid people on every college or university campus.</p>
