Putting UVU in red instead of green seems a bit dishonest

Yes, read above, if they attended multiple universities.

They got the only color that matters right.

Maybe, but YELLOW sure fits the Yew.

UVU should have been colored green, and uu colored red.

But did they break it down by MLM and summer sales jobs?

Is this jobs or entrepreneurs and their businesses

Nope. Nor cold fusion scientists.

Do you want it to be more skewed toward BYU? 54-9 wasn't enough?

If entrepreneurs equals starting MLMs, sure you win.

Cool. How many of those Wharton MBAs went to BYU?

Great38

5/11/22 1:35pm

I believe that is referencing Wharton’s undergrad program. There are several BYU-Wharton MBA founders, though.

Especially significant when many BYU grads leave the state and most UofU grads never do.

Maybe. Luckily this post is about making money.

Making money, or simply starting businesses? Genuine question, no shade.

Dunno. If their businesses are new enough maybe none has made money.

Yup, I totally misread “def agree” as “disagree”. My bad.
