To you, what schools are truly worth 90k/year

Chicago Booth is the graduate school of business not Chicago undergrad. Totally different vibes. PP is spot on.

IMO no school is worth $400k. But we have the money in our 529s and don't have another clear use for it. Most decent colleges feel like a better investment than, say, a Porsche.

Absolutely no school is worth $90k a year. None. How absurd.

HYPSM, Dartmouth, Penn, Brown, Cornell, Umich, NYU, Emory, Northwestern, UVa, Duke, Notre Dame, Georgetown, are worth it because finance heavyweights.

Rice, WashU, Vanderbilt, JHU, Caltech, and the other top schools I missed are not

lol...CalTech on that list. Those who don't know, really don't know.

Do you want to work for NASA? JPL? Los Alamos? SpaceX? Blue Origin? Google? Citadel? Susquehana? Bridgewater?

Never mind graduate school access to any top tier STEM department at any Princeton, Columbia, Harvard, MIT or Stanford.

You do realize that your ticket is punched when you are a beaver, more than any other college in America.

For me, if it is the best school one of my kids get into, it is worth it (though it will be tough). If one of my kids gets into UVA (in-state) and wants to go to Boston College, that's a tougher pill to swallow for me than say if they are choosing between Boston College and Penn State. It is all relative.

There won't be many jobs in those fields because of AI. It's already starting. Only the top of the top will gets jobs, maybe that's Caltech.
