 | View Full Version : Do we have any Devry alumni here? Justice 02-12-2002, 08:20 PM I keep seeing these commercials.. "employers respect Devry... go to Devry and get money..." A lot of you all have high-tech jobs. Do you know any Devry graduates or employers who are impressed by the name? cperciva 02-12-2002, 08:30 PM Devry? What's that? And I'm inclined to say that however much employers respect Devry, they'll probably respect a DPhil from Oxford even more. ;) The Prohacker 02-12-2002, 08:42 PM I remember Devry recrutiers(sp?) come to my CCNA class, he just had to talk about how many bass boats he had... And the school was getting, it was hilarious, its prolly a good school, but when ever I hear that name, I think bass boats :D kmh 02-12-2002, 08:48 PM Actually, if I'm looking for a tech support employee, I might choose someone with a 2-yr certification over a DPhil.... sasjamal 02-12-2002, 08:49 PM IM a student @ Devry :) Tim Greer 02-13-2002, 03:11 AM I thought Devry was a refrigeration and heating school? Am I thinking of something else? :-) davidb 02-13-2002, 04:27 AM We got 2 of those places around here, A guy who lives on my block runs at least one of the places I do not know how it works exactly.

If someone offered me a job as a tech support employee, I'd probably tell them to go hire someone without a degree. Tech support isn't, err, exactly at the high end of the CS career track. jimb 02-13-2002, 03:40 PM Originally posted by cperciva Tech support isn't, err, exactly at the high end of the CS career track. Well, the VP of AOL Customer Service makes something like 7mil a year....no bad for a support member :D Jim kmh 02-13-2002, 03:45 PM Originally posted by cperciva If someone offered me a job as a tech support employee, I'd probably tell them to go hire someone without a degree. Tech support isn't, err, exactly at the high end of the CS career track. No, but it just might be the start of the CS career track... The point is, Doctorates are neat and all that, but for a computer position, I'm much more interested in what you know about computers than how many stripes are on your sleeve. I'm not dissing the doctorate. Just don't dis the trade schools, community colleges, and other programs.

What position do you think you'll be looking for with your degree? bitserve 02-14-2002, 02:56 PM Originally posted by jimb Well, the VP of AOL Customer Service makes something like 7mil a year....no bad for a support member Would you consider the VP a support member? He probably has a business degree. Justice 02-14-2002, 07:23 PM yeah, I doubt the VP of customer service has ever even spoken to a customer, directly |
