Agreed?[/quote]

A certain subset of UMC America thinks it matters where you go to college, both career-wise and in finding the "right" spouse.

This is what drives 90% of college obsession.[/quote]

lol.  Where you go to college can matter.  The right spouse also matters wherever that person comes from.  The idea that it does not matter at all is kind of silly.  If you go to an awful college of course you still have the chance to do whatever you want.  You have less ways to do it though.  You also have more road blocks and roundabouts.  Less so from a top school.  Of course you can still screw it up but more paths; less roadblocks.  UMC parents think this because they see it every day[/quote]

Right - but it’s not the end-all-be-all that a lot of folks here make it out to be. Unless you are going to a top-50 or bottom 1/3 school, I’d doesn’t really matter all that much - or matter as much as the time, effort, expense, etc.  I equate it to the travel sports frenzy that starts at age 10.[/quote]

There's a difference between Top 10 school and a Top 50[/quote]

Maybe, but not really in the whole scheme of things - especially just undergrad…[/quote]
