[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless your child is able to make it into the most tippy top schools, I think the oncoming workplace shake up will open up opportunities for many who may have gone to lower ranking schools.

Your flexibility will matter more than the name on your diploma, unless you are taking the very top of an organization.

Even at the "very top", where you go does not matter!  Spouse has been CEO/exec team at 3 companies (CEO at 2).  Of the 10+ at each company in the Exec Suite, only 1-2 have degrees from "elite universities", while in fact over 50% have degrees from schools ranked 150+ (so not even "2nd or 3rd Tier by DCUMland definitions) Yet they are all top level execs who got to where they are because of what they do, not the name on their degree.

This. I know so many random highly successful people who went to Tech, or Penn State, or West Virginia, or even smaller places most have never heard of. If you know lots of successful people, you know this is true.[/quote]
