[quote=Anonymous]I want my kids to go to college where it's a good fit for them and doesn't require going into debt. I turned down a higher ranked school for a better fit when I went to college and it served me well. I'd like them to have as good a college experience as I did at whatever school they choose. DH and I both went to regional public schools and work with and are friends with people who went to all kinds of colleges. IME, there is a very narrow set of professions that really need an elite school to break into (IB, big management consulting firms). My kids were not interested in those professions. They picked very different schools - one big state U, one small LAC - but both fit what they were looking for and fit our budget. Both are doing well, one's about to graduate with a job. What more should I ask for?[/quote]
