    Good information there

    I think the university has done a fairly good job of maintaining its standards. When I attended, it was fairly easy to get admitted but fairly difficult to graduate.

    My father explined to me that, back in his day, just having done some of the college experience would result in getting decent job offers.

    The county coroner where I grew up didn’t actually graduate medical school - he was asked to come on and be an assistant while he was working in university, and since he was doing a stellar job he just took over the whole position when the county coroner retired. It was not considered controversial at the time, but I think today these regulations would catch up with him.
