[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't go to an Ivy.  I went to state school, and BU for law school.  I'm a partner in a law firm. The partner in the office next to me went to Harvard and Duke.  Yet we both wound up at the same place at the same age.  Tell me again about how it matters? [/quote]

Is outcome the only thing you base your opinion on?  My nanny went to Notre Dame and I went to a state school.  Her chosen profession doesn't take away her accomplishment of getting into a top 20 college and graduating.  Nanny is not only smart but secure enough to "follow her bliss".  DH is is crazy successful and never finished college - Nanny impresses the hell out of him, too.  [/quote]
Well, kind of. If you are well into your professional career and still consider GETTING INTO a certain school as a 17/18 year old some huge accomplishment, then that doesn't speak too highly of you, IMO.

This is a story that aligns perfectly with the whole "it's not your degree, it's what you DO with your degree."[/quote]

You don't have to do anything with your degree.  It is an education.  It will benefit you if you do nothing.

You don't get that much stupider as you age.  Someone who got into University of Notre Dame is still very bright.

Lots of bitter people on this thread.  [/quote]
