Reply to comment by kormer in Penn State, PSU, Temple and Lincoln say a tuition hike is needed, even with a 7% increase in state funding by Mrstucco

WVU is really only considered for most jobs here in PA or surrounding Appalachian states. A degree from PSU is highly regarded in almost all major metro areas. This isn’t a fair comparison.

That’s not true at all? My degree from WVU got me a job right after graduating in Atlanta

Are u joking. This is why I say it’s not highly regarded. Atlanta metro is in Appalachia LOL.

Wtf are you talking about? It's one of the fastest growing metros and economies in the country

>Atlanta metro is in Appalachia LOL.

If we're calling "part of North Georgia" as the Atlanta metro, I guess? You should get out more.

Unless you're shooting for a fortune 100 company, nobody is gonna balk at a degree from WVU.. Additionally, after being in the workforce for a few years nobody gives a fuck about the school, just that you've got a degree and what your experience is

Even then it really comes down to your degree. I had a few friends get jobs with ExxonMobil & Lockheed with their engineering degrees after graduation.
