I hope meant the opposite. UGA is overrated and Georgia state is underrated but I may be bias since I am a Georgia State alumni. Both graduates at these schools end up getting the same type of jobs with the same type of pay so I will say neither are overrated not underrated.

There are 3 universities in Georgia. UGA, Emory and GA Tech (technically, not a university).
All the others that call themselves universities are mediocre space fillers that, in reality, award certificates of attendance rather than degrees.

That doesn't make any sense. All schools that are regionally accredited provide the same degree requirements as the flagship university and the exspensive overpriced private schools. Maybe UGA and Emory are more attractive for out of state jobs but the degree from Georgia State, Georgia Southern, Kennesaw State, West Georgia, and Valdosta State will offer the same opportunities for professional jobs as any other school. In my profession the experience and your skills are more important than were the degree is from. At my company, we have chemists that have degrees from HBCUs, lower tier state universities, and the flagship schools and we all had to meet the requirements for the position and we all started off with the same salaries. Degrees from top universities are just bragging rights and employers who discriminate against what school a candidate attended are very close minded.
Yale. Sounds crazy, but I see more and more Yale grads that seem to want something to do with education or social services, but can't stand the thought of teacher or social worker salaries. So they start silly advocacy groups to "advocate" for something they have no knowledge or experience in (like public ed or working with the poor) so they can't make a huge salary off the donations their group has received.
