Yes, Jews generally place a high value on education. ALL the children who have grown up to college age in my temple over the past 20 years have gone to college. Like others have said, it is not a matter of "If" but instead is a matter of 'where."

Only a few of those you listed got their undergraduate degrees at UC Berkeley Further, the fact that those people are employed there says absolutely NOTHING about the quality of the education in the undergraduate programs.

Obama won the nobel peace prize, and then invaded 3 Countries, the Euro zone gave itself a nobel prize. Unlike what the nobel prize has sadly become, football is real and determined by the will of the individuals, and won fair and square. Not to mention this isn't a question.

Yes!!! Berkeley continues to lead the world in nuclear bomb research and design, as three of those on your deceased did in major ways during World War 2.

Yeah, well... college sport is an extremely corrupt activity that takes away a whole bunch of energy from legitimate academic activities...
Am I teaching anybody anything new?
- Anonymous8 years ago
The Nobel prize is given out based on popularity, not reality. Obama got the peace prize and he is a warmonger.

I agree with the first responder, I too didn't read ANY of the question once i saw all you did was copy/paste something from wikipedia or wherever you got it from.....but I can tell you Alabama has ALOT more championships than Cal.

Berkeley spends as much money on athletics as any other state university, dude.

Because football is FUN to watch! And like most of the people who clicked this question, I didn't read a single one of those names. Not being disrespectful, it's just that being perfectly honest? I don't care.

College football is a sham, its just pottery classes for semi pro football players
