| May 3, 2022 at 0:52 | comment | added | markvs | The only thing I can tell for sure is that getting PhD in math from my University (Vanderbilt) is much better for the initial salary than getting it from the University of Northern Mississippi. This point is impossible to argue and so I am not going to do that. You can use Google. College ranking in general is very imprecise and there are many of them but Harvard is always in top 3 or 2 and Vanderbilt is around 20 in the US. Also keep in mind that many great engineers did not have PhD of any kind at all. Edison thought that PhD only hurts. | |
