Better degrees don't automatically translate into better skills and better jobs and better lives.

I'm not impressed by people's degrees. Harvard doesn't impress me, Yale doesn't impress me, Columbia doesn't impress me.

What's nice about having an engineering degree is everybody thinks you are smart.

It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds. A Harvard education and a Yale degree.

This is a universal human dream - that brains, not brawn, will rule - and the fact that America has the world's finest institutions of higher education may be our greatest single national asset.

This is a global fight to get the right people in the right place and we're talking about people with PhDs in engineering, computer science, mathematics.

I think people are realizing that engineering and science are extremely good degrees to get and you'll be very highly paid once you've got them.

Eventually, I want to finish my degree.

Any degree of unemployment worries me.

I have actually five honorary degrees.
