[quote=Anonymous]It depends. As a general rule, I'm a huge believer in community college + transfer to an inexpensive 4-year. For most people in most fields in most parts of he country, this is the most affordable and smartest way to get the paper. However, since moving to DC, I have encountered SO MUCH college snobbery. I had no idea employers and colleagues might judge you as less bright for not having gone to a name-brand college, let alone a community college. But they do. And very little you can do on the job to change the perception when you start 30 feet behind the line. So, my advice is to go to the college that has the best rep + social network in the field you want to work. So, USC + UCLA if you want to go into film; Harvard + Yale if you want to go into law; etc., etc. [/quote]
