[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You definitely need to stop talking about it but if you do talk about it with your kid, try to focus on folks you know that are successful without that degree. In our house, both me and DH are very successful in our careers and both went to inexpensive state colleges ranked very much lower than Ivys. Even when our kids started chasing prestige a little, we reminded them of ourselves and others who are successful from lots of paths.

And for a more recent example, my oldest graduated a private school that is definitely ranked between 50 and 100 and is doing great. He is on his second job of his career (after being recruited from his first job to an offer that is more money and better) and he is making money and doing what he set out to do.  He also lives in NYC, his first choice location. There are a lot of paths and jobs and the Ivy kids are not the only ones to be successful.[/quote]

Your example isn’t great…your kid still attended a college in the top 2% of all colleges in the country.
