Hey, if Clinton can have an official policy...
Guy: Mr. President, what is your official policy on drunk sluts?
USC Pres: Uh... no comment.
Guy: That's okay, I'll nail enough for both of us.

I call bull shit.
agreed. ivey sucks
^ That's right, asswipe. You just keep telling yourself that while you're flipping burgers at McDonald's to pay off last month's rent at your roach-infested one bedroom apartment. On the other end of the ordering box, I'll be in my 'benz with my smoking hot trophy wife on the way to my luxury condo from my 93k/yr investment banking job.
IVEY kicks ass.
and I'll be the one that counsels your family when you decide to kill yourself because of your unfulfilling life choices.
signed,
not 6:19
what i don't understand is why everyone who doesn't go to ivey is immediately considered to be qualified for flipping burgers and nothing else. call me crazy, but that doesn't make sense. and PS it's a tad hypocritical to attack people who make sweeping generalizations about ivey if you're just going to make them yourself.
93k a year isn't that great, I know guys who didn't finish high school making 100k plus because they got pretty sweet union jobs. Ivey is a hell of alot better than most of the useless shit people take at Western though.

Man, you Ivey folks need some new material. I've seen this same reply over and over again.
In other news: Ivey really does suck. Hard. It's just a fact of life. Accept it and move on.
2:46 : Random question:
Is the only measure of a "good job" how much money you make?
I honestly don't give a shit if I ever get rich...as long as I can be comfortable and enjoy my work...
You couldn't pay me enough to do investment banking or marketing, for example...
^ Yet there are many people who genuinely love corporate finance or marketing/advertising.
They still make a shitload of money. Job satisfaction is key, but job satisfaction AND a fat paycheck are a killer combo that many IVEY grads achieve.
^sure, but you could say the same thing about Law, meds, dental, engineering, or any of several grad programs....and you don't see them bragging constantly.
One dream isn't any better than another.
Here's a little hint, OaW people... most HBAs aren't actually the huge douchebags they portray themselves as on this site. This is probably a radical concept for some of the humourless fucks here, but a lot of us think the whole IVEY douche stereotype is pretty funny and deliberately play it up in a satirical fashion.
Now, the MBAs, on the other hand, really ARE self-important douchebags, and I'm pretty sure that a lot of the stereotype owes to them. They're gone from main campus starting next year, though.
I'm willing to bet that 8:14's so called "trophy wife" will be fucking his neighbour in no time. He'll be so concerned with getting up to that 100k/year mark, he won't give a fuck about her. She'll get bored and wander. Not only will she likely be dumb as fuck (she'd have to be to marry a scumbag like him), but she'll be a whore with plastic titties who'll show em off to anyone with working eyeballs. Sounds to me like 8:14 really does have it made. Idiot.
P.S. 8:14, just remember to thank the guys fixing that Benz of yours. People like you do not make the world go 'round. Grow up.
^Then after cheating on him with everyone in the neighbourhood, she'll leave him, take half of everything in the divorce and suck out the rest of his money through child support.
^ and even then, he'll STILL have ten-fold more dough than the useless idiots with majors in art history!
^except for the ones who become art teachers.
^ Yes, because art teachers are known for being filthy rich. Like...no, wait, he wasn't rich. Erm, like...no, she wasn't an art teacher.
I'm drawing a blank here. Someone help me out?
Nothing about this is funny anymore. Apparently, people think they're funny or intelligent by making the same insults in a different manner. Apparently, people think that stereotypes are the only way to define a group. Apparently, people think that they can change another person's way of thinking by posting comments on OAW.
Is it a numbers game? The more people say that Ivey sucks, the more it's true? If more people praise Ivey, does that mean Ivey wins? On a website? Where's the logic in that?
If all the "Ivey sucks" crowd just stopped bashing Ivey, sure, maybe they will consider it a victory, but what will they have won? A moment's triumph on the Internet? Whatever. Ignoring pompous asses, regardless of denomination, is the easiest to settling the so-called issue.
Or maybe that doesn't work in the real world. Maybe people need to insult others to make themselves feel better. Fine. Make fun of me. Say I suck. Say my mother sucks. At least now both sides will have a common enemy, and you can both happily insult me as much as you like.
Do I give a damn?
^ Ivey owns you.
93k a year isn't that great, I know guys who didn't finish high school making 100k plus because they got pretty sweet union jobs. Ivey is a hell of alot better than most of the useless shit people take at Western though.

You mean MIT, right? Man, I cannot get out of that faculty and switch to Nursing fast enough...
Reading the comments used to be the best part of OAW. Now they've just degraded into mindless dribble. Sad.
Rape all UGG wearers with more vigor than the Gazette spoof issue!

I think it's pretty pathetic that Ivey students are ignorant enough to say that they're the best, etc. etc. Seriously, the world could do with a few less Ivey students who monopolize the world's cash and a few more doctors, etc. Not only that, but you people at Ivey have to be completely out of your mind to think that you make the world go around. It's people that work in factories to build your damn cars, people who fix them, people who teach your kids, and people who save you in the emergency room when you have a heart attack in your 50s that make the world go round. Come on, grow a pair.
potato. Poh Tah Toe.
^ Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.
8:35 is a retard who clearly doesn't understand how capitalism works.
The people who work in factories are a dime-a-dozen. Nothing more than an expendable, replaceable, unskilled workforce.
High-ranking businesspeople and investors (i.e. Ivey students in a decade or so) are the ones who actually direct capital to its most efficient ends.
Tell me, 8:35, are you honestly that fucking stupid that you believe it's NOT the investors, the venture capitalists, the accountants, marketers, ad execs, entreprenuers and IT consultants who "make the world go round"?
Want to know why a chief executive officer makes a thousand-fold more than a factory worker? Because s/he generates far more value for society.
Next time, think before you spout off ignorant, neo-hippy bullshit.
If everyone on earth died tomorrow except for people with business degrees, you'd all be fucked.
^ here's a better question: why are we arguing over who "makes the world go round" or "generates more value for society"?
Assuming that everyone at university will have some choice in their career, why does anyone need to justify their choice to anyone but themselves?
^ Yes, because art teachers are known for being filthy rich. Like...no, wait, he wasn't rich. Erm, like...no, she wasn't an art teacher.
I'm drawing a blank here. Someone help me out?
Teachers are rich enough. They make about $85k/year for working only slightly more than 9 months of the year and can retire with a full pension at 55. You should have a pretty comfortable life with that kind of money. If anyone thinks they need more money than that, they're incredibly selfish.
Ivey is the least important of the professional programs at UWO. Fact.
Once upon a yesteryear, a young man named Bob Blumber graduated from none other than the Richard Ivey School of Business. And does anyone know what young Bob Blumer does today?
He cooks up some lame ass recipes out of his toaster-shaped trailer. Yep...
the difference between schulich medicine and ivey..i dont see med students come out here and put other programs down like some douches in ivey quite frequently do. watch and learn.
I'm very drunk right now.
Oh, and I go to IVEY. No joke.
I definitely don't get this lame competition over faculty business, because it definitely isn't just an Ivey problem; people do it in science, engineering and meds/dents too, albeit not on Internet forums. I go to Schulich. I am doing well in Schulich. I will probably graduate and make pretty decent money.
So fucking what. If my car breaks down and I can't get a decent mechanic I'm screwed. If the economy collapses I'm screwed. If the university profs stop teaching we're all screwed. If people stopped pursuing journalism and media criticism, etc, then we'll be on a fine and dandy road away from democracy. If people stopped pursuing careers as musicians and we're left with Muzak and oldies, well..I don't know about you guys but that doesn't seem like a very enjoyable world.
Catch my drift? Not everyone is good at everything. Therefore, in order for our society to function properly at its current sophisticated level, people need to do what they do best.
A good friend of mine got an apprenticeship right out of high school working with an electrician while getting college courses towards it. He's been making nearly six figures for the past four years as a "dime a dozen worker" while I drown in debt. Another friend of mine made $19 000 in a month working in the oild feilds in Alberta as another "dime a dozen worker". And gasp! Without an Ivey degree!!! You don't need to pay tens of thousands of dollars in tuition to do well. And doing well doesn't necessarily mean having tons of money to show off to the world Trump-style. If you're happy with your program and happy with yourself, lording over others shouldn't be necessary. If you do feel the need to do that well...I sincerely hope you make a lot of money. You'll need it to trick people into thinking you have any kind of class or self-esteem.
i think its funny that simply by saying ivey sucks- as i did on the second comment- after about a week there are 31 more comments about ivey sucking and not sucking - it's pretty funny that 2 words can inspire a whole argument on a program at a school that sucks pretty hardcore anyways. good job team. good job.
Go MIT :D
5:25, you'll be a really decent doctor some day, as opposed to so many people who want to be doctors for the wrong reasons. I don't know you, but simply by what you've said, I greatly respect you and hope that there are more people at Schulich with your mentality - if so, we'll have much better doctors in future generations.
