@bradstevens i've talked about my good buddy The Texan that's a radical far right wing bitcoin obsessed lunatic.  here's a little lesson from him.  his little sister went to u of chicago.  told her parents she was studying econ (obviously the spot for it) but really was studying art history with some absurd niche specialty.  graduated.  totally worthless degree.  curator at a museum is like landing a midfield spot at barca.  but.  BUT.  she found a bf there from a loaded Connecticut hedge fund family and she has led a charmed woke vermont life ever since. 

 

so. your offspring.  any closer to a college decision? while i LOVE the sec and the south and my gram is now randomly full of rush week dances that all look alike there is value OUTSIDE of academics at these "elite" schools

No shit, dude. But I can't tell my daughter "hey go to that school--you have a better chance of landing a rich dude."  Again, growing up not so rich, and then going to law school with a bunch of rich kids, I can't stand that attitude.  Current list:

Indiana

Illinois

Georgia

Vanderbilt

Clemson

Tennessee

and two more I don't know of

A charmed, woke Vermont life should be a reality show, though.  Where is hoosboot????!!!!

 

 

im obviously bias for IU, but Clemson is quite nice. Greenville is one of the most underrated cities places in the country IMO.

Either that or power generation.  Some of the AI data centers that are coming down the pipeline are approaching the need for 1000 megawatts to power.

For comparison, that is literally the complete output of a nuclear power plant reactor.

 

there’s a unicorn developing nuclear power plants for data centers

Greenville is really nice downtown.  Great restaurants & Falls Park on the Reedy is really nice.  Clemson was fitting John Deere lawn tractors with lidar systems when I was there 5 or 6 years ago. 😂
