[quote=Anonymous]Look to your left and look to your right at work and what schools did people attend undergrad? The point people are making that 20-30 years out you can end up the same place short of a handful of careers that only recruit from specific programs. But that said, the journey can be harder for kids if the college isn’t a great fit however that’s defined for your kid. My one kid ended up at a SLAC. There was a lot that went into finding colleges where they thought they would thrive more, prepare them for their career interest, and fit into our budget. Our other kid is looking at large state schools. But it also makes perfect sense given their academic interests, their social group and what they enjoy doing, and what they want to do post college. It would be harder if my kid that wants a big state school went to a small SLAC and vice versa.[/quote]
