[quote=Anonymous]The goalposts for engineering have moved so far in this discussion that we're now arguing about IB, PE and other forms of finance. If someone is interested in those jobs, they should attend a school where these employers actively recruit. For those waxing poetic about labs, research, top faculty, etc., your kid is going to be working right next to someone from the University of Alabama Huntsville, University of Central Florida, and Mississippi State, just to name a few, and potentially reporting to an Iowa State grad. And the Ivy League/private pedigree isn't doesn't age like fine wine, especially if you're hoping to jump to IB/PE at some point. For an engineering career, an elite private school is a luxury, not a necessity. Once you get past the bells and whistles of the elite private, you just have a degree, and at some point nobody really cares where you went to school. For engineering careers, that point comes pretty quickly.[/quote]
