[quote=Anonymous]my point was not that HYP or whatever degree is necessary for success, that is just a straw man and not worth addressing. my point is that professional careers are very competitive and it does not really make your life easier if your child merely wants to be a doctor as opposed to go to an ivy. now you are giving examples of various people you know but there many more top school phds teaching at top schools (harvard psychology has been considered top notch for decades, btw) than there are for any particular obscure school or similarly sized set of such schools. there is a fair number of internationals among faculty as well, but that's a different story. now business is another animal entirely but planning your future around idea that you are going to start your own business is a big gamble, especially if your child is academically capable.
