Message:: [QUOTE="TDRismyname, post: 1001794, member: 26939"]Hey I went to SDSU, It's not the college or the teacher that makes the student... in fact I'd say my education, although sufficient, didn't add nearly as much as I thought it would to my knowledge and that's the main reason I decided to not go to UCSD for a Ph.D in Psychology....80k i can spend on cars, bikes (NOT harleys, or choppers... those are obnoxious and overpriced), and coins. You can learn everything a Ph.D Psychiatrist knows at the L.A. County Library. I had a marginal 1420 SAT and a 2.1 GPA from highschool, no sports or extracurriculars... My brother had a 1510 and a 4.5 "adjusted" GPA (3.8 real) and got into Berk, he works at starbucks, and got a B.S. in Computer Science. Also, My IQ was tested @ 138 while he had a 127. That was my top score tho, I got a 125 @ age 8 and a 134 @ age 12... last was age 16 so it's possible there's some sort of inflation on the Stanford Binet scale. Anyway IQ ain't **** if you don't use it.... it's been proven that rich people are no more intelligent than poor people of the same age/race. I think there is a factor unmeasured by IQ test.... Drive or "Go-to-it-iveness" that means far far more than IQ or smarts or intelligence or whatever you want to call it. Those who WANT to succeed will while those who don't, for whatever psychological reasons, won't regardless of how intelligent they are. IMO my brother is a fool for staying in Berkeley.... jobs are so scarce and he has to volunteer his time at the university pro-bono. If I were him I'd take the GMATs and head to Stanford. But sadly I'm not him, j/k I'm cool w/ being the lazy son. I still make more money, lol.[/QUOTE]
