This is because CC posters are mainly high above average students and don't highly regard Dartmouth let alone Fresno State.

<p>Ouch. Let's keep in mind that Dartmouth is considered one of the most selective and prestigious schools in the world. Even its engineering program, while obviously not equivalent to MIT's, is still better than the vast majority of other engineering programs out there. Let's keep in mind that there are plenty of people on CC who couldn't ever even dream of getting an engineering program as good as Dartmouth's. </p>

Well I don't want to be harsh, but most of this Fresno engineers used to be <em>really</em> average students and I doubt their marketability in tech companies other than very small start-ups and mechanic shops in San Jose.

<p>Hey, don't knock it too much. While I don't have the numbers on me, I would suspect that Fresno State electrical engineering grads probably get paid higher starting salaries than people who graduated from Stanford in Art History. The point is, even a low-end engineering job is still better than a lot of other jobs available out there.</p>
