Texas Southern University: The only HBCU in Houston that matters

[hbcu]

depends on what your majoring in? you will come out making the same money as a teacher anywhere - so why spend an arm and a leg just to say you went somewhere else?

most TSU grads are business grads or in that field. You see more of them in ownership positions than PV grads as PV was created more towards the service fields such as education, nursing and technical (engineering).

Depends on where you want to teach. HISD and all that superintendent nonsense, they're knocking on your PV/TSU graduate doors.


Katy, Pearland, Conroe...you're competing again Becky who's mom teaches in the district and she went to A&M. They're thinking yes you're both education graduates but was your program as rigorous? The PV program? I'd say no, based on what I hear. Sam? Yes, you just went cheaper.

Like that in coaching also - certain coaches struggle to get the jobs where there’s talent and resources. When those areas start to drain then they want to give us those jobs.

Anyone who went through integration saw how they moved stronger teachers to campuses they weren’t needed at.

The suburbs will you teach at their worst schools but not the creme de la creme

Yes and no. my best friend is at a pretty good school. Is it the richest? No, but it definitely isn't one of the lower ones.


But you are right, she tried to get into Klein and she got interviews at the Klein Forest zoned elementaries like crazy but didn't want any of those. The others, not a peep. So it depends on where you go.

same in Fort Bend, hardly no any who get to work at Clements.

So posters here are alleging, or at least implying, systematic discrimination against TSU/PVAMU grads vs. other grads. Would that be unfair discrimination, or reasonable assessment of the quality of those graduates?

My cousin graduated from TSU pharmacy in 1986 and didn't find a job as a pharmacist at a hospital until 1987 on the night shift and someone in the family was really upset about it her taking so long with finding a job. I once had someone tell me that people that graduate from UH pharmacy school are able to find jobs faster than people that graduate from pharmacy school at TSU and I heard that as recently as 2014 and 2015. My cousin doesn't care to work retail pharmacy, I think retail pharmacy is too busy for her and there is too much talking involved in it.
