[quote=Anonymous]I had a similar choice and went Ivy, and also think now I would have been happier as big fish in small pond Florida. People who do well st Ivies for the most part already come from UMC; all of us on aide are ALWAYS trying catching up but still falling behind even after college. Starts with HS prep, and being woefully unprepared for rigorous academics, then to career path and having no clue what is lucrative or not, then having no network to leverage nor parents help for risk taking career paths, graduate/professional school, or down payments. Staying in my cheap as grits FL town, working an easy 40 hr job as a city worker or accountant sounds like a sweet gig, and houses cost about the same as a down payment here. Like her, I didn’t really appreciate that I might have ended up in a happier place until much later, mid career and with kids. [/quote]
