Does a school like Coker offer a degree for that?

No, it's only offered online.Originally posted by Indy Coug View PostDoes a school like Coker offer a degree for that?Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

There is nothing wrong with CA that what is right with CA can't fix.
Better:

See, I used to think that way, but not anymore. CA's mythic new industry that's going to come along and save everyone as did the film/housing/military/high tech/etc.. well, I just don't see it. And the environment there gets worse and worse for startups, so new industries will be hard pressed to build anything without govt interference which will slow down development and profits. Maybe tourism still works?Originally posted by RobinFinderson View PostThere is nothing wrong with CA that what is right with CA can't fix.

NYC has never really declined while New York State as a whole has had declining influence (at least electorally) over the past several decades.Originally posted by Katy Lied View PostSee, I used to think that way, but not anymore.

California will have the same fate, but San Francisco will always be the banking and tech capital on the west coast. Los Angeles will probably always remain the entertainment capital. The rest of the state outside of the coasts will decline.Part of it is based on academic grounds.

SF isn't seen as the banking capital anymore. I don't really care but that's what the money people say.Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View PostNYC has never really declined while New York State as a whole has had declining influence (at least electorally) over the past several decades.

L.A. Maybe they are wrong. I do not care what the financial capital of the West Coast is. I report, you decide.Originally posted by filsdepac View PostWho are these money people?

Of course that's what El Lay people will say. Besides, I heard Reno's giving everyone a run for their money.Originally posted by LA Ute View PostL.A. Maybe they are wrong. I do not care what the financial capital of the West Coast is. I report, you decide.
Obviously things aren't as concentrated out west as it is on east coast.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

Generally, the way banking has changed I am not sure you can say it is concentrated anywhere anymore. All our money is now zillions of digital chits residing in a cloud.Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View PostOf course that's what El Lay people will say.

speaking of real estate in texas. How about this house in suburban Dallas city called Rockwell. Wasn't there someone on the board who lived in Rockwell?"Be a philosopher.

Haven't lived there but have been there a few times. It doesn't seem like a bad place but you might have a good drive to work if you work downtown.
As for this house the pool is looking greener than the grass....

It looks like Dallas/Ft. Worth has a bunch of lakes in the area, which thing I had never supposed.Originally posted by Uncle Ted View PostHaven't lived there but have been there a few times. It doesn't seem like a bad place but you might have a good drive to work if you work downtown.

More accurately, a lot of reservoirs. The water supply has to come from somewhere. And during droughts the water levels can decline considerably. It's not like Texas can wait for the snow to melt in its mountains to fill them back up.Originally posted by Pelado View PostIt looks like Dallas/Ft.
