Boyhood Bedroom Poster: Countach or Testarossa

obviously your success is directly linked to how hard you work. Iwould say it depends on how hard you work moreso than how smart you are (within reason, obviously someone with a 50iq may need more than hard work to be loaded). Having a degree from a prestigious school obviously gives you the advantage in the job market. It looks good on a resume. I'm working my ass off now just so i can get into a good grad school, or possibly law school if i decide to go that route. Where you get your education must mean something. You dont see businesses getting in bidding wars over a community college grad. When i was looking at colleges, one grad from loyola (in MD, it has a decent program with a good rep) was recieving offers from engineering firms that wanted to hire him. He ended up getting an offer for $60k, starting. Not too bad for first year out of college. I doubt that happens to grads from teir 2, 3 or 4 schools.

 

oh and btw i think that article is flawed. Obviously an average kid at an ivy will obviously be more capable than an average kid at a "no-name" (as the article puts it) college.


" A prestigious education will certainly garner more attention, but it won’t be an automatic meal ticket for a good job. Ambition, intelligence, and wit are the deciding factors for job candidates."

Obviously if you manage to graduate from an ivy you have some level of ambition and itelligence, otherwise you wouldnt be there inthe first place.

 

Sarc, Dig it...the Pagey avatar!

Oh, and DrS reminded me... (CRS has set in at 39) I had the Alpine poster as well.

I had a bed that looked like a TR. No poster though, but one of the drawers of the ascociated dresser had a TR picture on it. so I guess TR counts.

Now I dont remember this per-say, but my mom tells me that it was the car with the 'strikes on the side,' and old pictures show me it too. So I guess my Ferrari love is like ingrained for early childhood.

 

I had the Alpine also. They had the best Quality Lambo posters.

 

If you read the article closely, youll see theres something in it that puts everyone on the same playing field.

The researchers tracked the 1976 freshman class of 30 schools ranging from prestigious Yale University to well-known public institutions like Penn State and Ohio’s Miami University. Krueger and Dale compared the earnings of students who attended such schools with kids who were accepted but chose to attend cheaper schools. The study’s conclusion: based on SAT and other scores, smart and talented kids who attended no-name colleges have done just as well in their careers as the kids who chose the Ivy League route. In other words, the traits that made the students eligible to attend prestigious schools were the same traits that caused them to enjoy career success. It’s the kids, not the schools, that count.

 

Well, i was too young, but my brother had a countach and a 930 turbo. I never understood why he cared until later

 

One word: Daisy.

 

308. RED.

 

Thanks, Darth! Had a poster of him as well!

 

That "Alpine" Lamborghini Countach poster had to be the all time great car poster. It's what I had. Side profile of a red Countach on a black background.

 

one TR and one Daytona, I loved Miami Vice.

 

Autographed Playboy Bunny Pic (I was a smooth-talking 14-year-old trying to pick up on a Bunny at a car show) Farrah, huge Ted Nugent poster, '55 F-100 Caricature.

 

I had the Alpine car stereo red Countach poster among numorus posters of Heather Locklear.

Only because i got it for free at a car show. I'm really not a poster kinda guy.

 

I had the Farrah nip poster also.

Hmmm, I must be a whole lot older than you guys. I had posters of "Big Daddy" Don Garlits in his front engined top fuel car smoking the tire bigtime and Jimmy Clark in the Lotus Indy car. Also a poster of the Austin Healey 3000.

 

Had a poster of a 288GTO. Oh, and the Maxell poster....
