That's what I'm going through right now, employers at the management level of public safety won't even interview me until I have at least a bachelors and they really want a masters. No matter that I've done the job for 12 years.

# | VT announces plans for a massive $225m Business School complex Unfortunately, you see this everywhere. There is huge demand for college degrees, more than has ever been seen before. So universities are trying to keep up in an arms race to offer spots to many more students than they thought possible even a decade ago. You're seeing teaching duties outsourced to "cheap" resources like grad students (who are required to teach as part of their degree program) and adjunct professors, who essentially are being paid minimum wage with no benefits. That's a crime but it's a whole different tangent.
It may be time to re-evaluate whether or not a university education really is necessary for many career paths. At this point, a B.S. is basically a checkbox that needs to be filled for most job applicants.
I don't understand why everyone here is getting upset about this. The university wants to expand and President Sands finds it to be in the best interest for the school and its students. I still attend the university and campus is still great and beautiful. I've had people visit campus with me from other schools and they all say the same thing. It's amazing how big Tech is, but still manages to maintain it's small town feel. Parking is always going to be an issue. My only take is that the university is hoping more kids start taking the bus even though it's already bogged down with too many students most mornings.

# | VT announces plans for a massive $225m Business School complex Everything I have heard from people working in the existing living-learning communities is that the students love them. I did a theme housing program many years ago, the precursor to these, and it was one of the best things I did at VT. The new classroom community setup is being very well received, from what I have heard.
I live in Orlando. This is great. I will get to root for the Hokies to beat Lo
I think he just invited us all to stay at his place.
Not having gone to Tech as a student I question this for one reason. Isn't the point of the new resident halls with classrooms and more common areas built into them to address this issue?

Sweetwater Tavern is my jam. My family would make weekend trips to Nova just to hang out, and we'd make a point to go there just about every time. Best food ever, period.
RIP campus life. My friends still there already say it's suffering. I went to Tech because I wanted a small school feel with big school benefits, otherwise I would have gone to Alabama/OSU/Penn State etc. this move does little to benefit the current students IMO.
The best place that I know is Ben's Chili Bowl. It is in DC though. U street up in Shaw. Their hot dog chili and slaw is a marriage made in heaven. Fries are good... They have the best sweet tea in DC. Hell, the crushed ice is even awesome.
But he is up front and unapologetic about it. That's gotta count for something.
My wife hates eggs. I love them. Souffle, quiche, omeletes, scrambled, fried, poached, whatever.
You make it work.
we wanted the title to be decided on the field like a fight is decided in the ring; this is how The Belt was born.
The Championship started with the 1971-72 Cornhuskers, but can be traced all the way back to Princeton-Rutgers, as well as the first AP champion from 1936. Interesting how the different suggested lineages unified through play on the field by the 1940's and later confirmed the Belt creators' choice of that '71 team.
Closest place I know of that has the best "this is absolutely horrible for your health" burgers/dogs/onion rings is Circus Burger in Raleigh, NC.
Otherwise, find a drive-thru Cookout? The ones with indoor seating just don't feel right.
And guess what he did not fall down after the catch!
and Ricky Walker
I do like the buttermilk ranch from Sweetwater Tavern
Hamburg and Bobby Wood all the way!!!
WTF 'drill" is that?
Carol Lee? The crap you get in the grocery store. That sucks! I want a hot Crispy Crme with a grilled hot dog on it!
Oh that's Sara Lee. Carol did a dirty rip off!
Yep. Needless to say, his stock was in a downward spiral when we first met. Cheese was almost a deal breaker.
Damn Mouse has his dirty little fingers on everything
DT and a RB? New wild Turkey?
This is true, and I should have been a bit more specific. Campus itself has gotten pretty crowded, over half of off campus students have meal plans, and getting lunch and dinner is rough, especially if trying to get in and out. The library isn't getting any bigger either. They just have issues to address as they grow. You can't just build new doors and classrooms and ignore everything else.
