[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not this again.

Yes, it actually does matter where you go to college, unless your claim is that all institutions of higher ed are exactly the same with the same people and in the same location and the same lineup of professors and curriculum.

No one would be stupid enough to claim that[/quote]

OP Here:  I'm not claiming that they are all exactly the same.  I'm saying that it doesn't matter much at all for career success; the quality of the student and the effort they put into college will be far more determinative.  As will the choice of major.  Obviously saying it doesn't matter at all is mildly hyperbolic which I acknowledged in my OP with respect to finance.

To respond to another point - of course, you must go to a place that you will be happy spending four years at.  But it's a very rare person (I would think) where that would be an Ivy.

For myself: I did go to an Ivy League school, and I ended up going to law school anyway, so while I had a nice time, it wasn't "worth" it in terms of career prospects. [/quote]
