[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends. If one wants to work at the highest levels of Engineering(top tech consulting,  tech startup culture, R&D that requires a PhD), then you need a top school especially in a down economy. School matters more when the job market is slower. Look what is happening to CS: hiring has significantly slowed and unemployment is up...at all but the prestigious names (top privates such as 6 of the ivies, stanford, CMU, MIT and very top publics, UCB, GT, Mich, UIUC...). The same group of schools produces the highest chance of top tier engineering jobs. [/quote]
Not in my experience. Some of the most successful engineers I know (making 7 figure salaries at faang type companies) have degrees from little known state schools. [/quote]

Of course engineers can make great money and have a great career and never have gone to the top engineering schools. No one is arguing that. But, it’s nice when your kid does get the opportunity to go to one of the top engineering schools and the opportunities that will present them.  Both of these things can be true at the same time.
