[quote=Anonymous]My friend went to a complete no-name college and got a degree and has generally been in jobs that don't really require a college degree. Spouse did not go to college. They do fine financially. Their child is super smart and was targeting Ivy-type schools. I commented when the child was applying to college that they would have been better off if the parent hadn't gone to college at all as they might have been placed in a different bucket (not that there was anything they could do about this). Child didn't get into target Ivy and ended up in an honors program at their flagship state university, which likely was the best outcome anyway. Long story short, this binary of "parents went to college" doesn't make a lot of sense, nor do many of these other efforts to social engineer things. I a very supportive of diversity but it seems like many schools are now trying way too hard.[/quote]
