[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe she should consider a vocational school. If you and she care so little about an academic education, why are you trying to force her into one? As for the credential alone, it’s not worth much from a ho-hum school, especially if the program and grades are also weak. [/quote]

Where did I say her and I care so little about academic education?  Are you inferring that just because we don’t care about the prestige of the school?  And where did I say I was forcing her into college?   She absolutely positively wants to go. [/quote]

Why don’t you care though? I think that’s what people are curious about. Is she not going in order to secure a future for herself? [/quote]

You are confusing a school's prestige (created by a magazine no less) with the great academic education students receive at hundreds of colleges in the U.S. If you are hyperfocused on one kind of job at one Wall Street firm, then maybe this is a thing for you. Otherwise, prestige only matters at your mom's cocktail party.[/quote]
