[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if it makes you feel any better:

My DD was the only one of her circle of 5 close friends who went to a state school.  Others went to Ivy and other pretty selective schools like MIT.  Well, guess what, they all graduated last year and she's the only who was able to find a job.  And a good job.  She lives on her own, she's responsible.  Those other kids moved home and are working odd jobs or are trying to get into grad schools.  So much "Oh, my kid went to Brown."  [/quote]

???? You don't say whether your kid majored in finance while the other kids majored in philosophy. And how about the quality of the profs? And whether your kid is self-motivated or maybe not so much, like OP's kid. So much relevant info is missing from this post.

I'm getting tired of all these "Ivy kids are mentally ill and anyway they are useless in the workplace" posts. Is it all the same poster? As I look at colleges for DS, I guess I'll bear in mind that some of you non-Ivy parents have really bad cases of sour grapes.[/quote]
