[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These posts that say you just HAVE to go to a top school because that’s where the I-banks and consulting companies and corporate law firms recruit are really cracking me up.

Raise your hand if, like me, you would be terribly disappointed if your child became one of those things.[/quote]

Going to a top school to become any of these is a waste of the top school. I want my kid to go to a top school so that he can get any job he wants and get paid well for doing it. There are lots of jobs that pay well, aren’t hard to do, and are incredibly enjoyable. The problem is that most of these jobs are open to a very small group of people, because you get in by who you know. I’ve been in jobs like this my entire life, and the office will be full of people from top schools, who only recruit from those same schools. [/quote]

Why a college education?  To learn, grow, and find out who you are.  And be ready for a job.  No it is not a waste.  And there really are not that many jobs that are easy and pay well.[/quote]
