Congrats and good job with the degrees. You made a great decision in persuing your degrees although you could have quit like many other successful players have done.

And why all the hate with Duke isnt it Ivy League?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!! WTF?!? DUKE?!? IVY LEAGUE?!? OH JESUS, STOP IT, YOU'RE KILLING ME!!!! /being a total dick

Congrats Jason,

You must be very proud of yourself for showing up to the same place for 4 years and not really doing much but getting passable enough grades that you could get a sick job for something totally unrelated to any of your academic achievement. Hang that diploma with pride baby!

A relatively small number of students get accepted to duke each year, but once there and there is no financial responsibility on the student, it is quite easy to obtain. I believe the graduation rate is above 90%.

Are you also impressed that GWB earned his way to become the owner of a baseball team?

lol at "easy to obtain"

1) he had to do an insane amount of work to get into Duke in the first place... and be really, really smart
2) he had to do an insane amount of work while there... and be really, really smart. a high graduation rate is a testament to the kind of students at Duke, not that it is "easy."
3) he did it and got a degree, which will land him great jobs and opportunities worth big bucks. this degree will most likely be a cornerstone in his life, future jobs or further education are directly influenced by it.

enough with that though. congrats jason.

damn Duke costs ~50k a year for tuition, housing, books etc? Are you out of state because that has got to the most expensive undergrad I've heard of.
