Oregon alums tend to do quite well. They have a lot of alums from pretty well-to-do families but also have their share of poverty-stricken persons. Oregon State alums have worked hard and are usually rewarded by finding their way into better employment as a group statistically over Oregon alums, at least initially.
How about Portland State alums? Our engineers tend to get hired by Boeing and other firms employing engineers. We are a well-regarded accounting school. Portland State also has more pre-med students gaining enrollment at OHSU than either Oregon or Oregon State. So we have a good number of physician alums. The business school is vital and so is education.
As a group, how do our alumni compare with those of Oregon and Oregon State monetarily? My guess is that if Berkeley alumni rated a 9, then Portland State would be about a 5, Oregon State a 6 and Oregon a 7. Is this an accurate read?
Politically, we tend to lag way behind. Why is that? Shouldn't the next mayor of Portland, for example, be a Portland State alum? Should we not start to emerge from out of our relative obscurity and begin to assert ourselves more politically now?
