[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Being overly sensitive not to dox them, it's the type of major that literally everyone in the field has told us "it doesn't matter at all where you went to school." It also requires a masters and doesn't pay a whole ton (tops out around $80-100k maybe). [/quote]

Seems obvious you should take JMU in that case.[/quote]

+1 especially if he plans to stay in the mid-Atlantic. JMU has a very enthusiastic alumni base.

FWIW, DD made a somewhat similar choice -- OOS LAC with great merit offer that made our cost closer to $20k vs. full price at W&M. She didn't love W&M but it was the best ranked school she got into. The LAC doesn't have good general name recognition but she felt really at home there. From talking with people in the field she was 100% committed to, the LAC had a great program, strong regional reputation, and the career would require grad school. Very happy with the choice and we'll be able to help with grad school. She'll do grad school at a big recognized-name university.[/quote]
