It is the same as NYU did in 70s. But now NYU merge NYU-Poly as its school of engineering. I am always amazed at what criteria are used by school administrators to decide which departments to fund. It is very surprised to me as a foreigner born that U.S. doesn't need engineers from Ivy League....

Ivy League schools breed leaders not us over paid worker bees. Only engineers complain about working under non-engineers. Lawyers at law firms don't have that problem.

This is poor analysis. Princeton, Cornell, and Penn have had strong engineering programs for many decades now, and Brown has had a very strong competence in Applied Math.

Your broad brush strokes regarding "Ivies" and lawyers are just mugging for stereotypes.

Slightly off-topic, but I think these are conservative figures: "Top college computer science graduates may get as much as $120,000 from tech leaders such as search giant Google and social networking leader Facebook, according to Kai Fortney, marketing director for Hired, a Web-based employment service for the industry. Some new hires may receive signing bonuses of as much as $25,000, he says." Anyone else find them…

Yeah. Some of my friends have been given signing bonuses 4x that amount, and salaries > $150k.

Well, no. In the US, lawyers can't work for non-lawyers; that is, they can't work in a position where their legal judgement is subject to review by a non-lawyer. Part of their code of professional responsibility.

How do you square that with General Counsels who report to the CEO/Board?
