[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated from college 30 years ago, yet my college still matters to some people. It irks me because it's so unimportant and irrelevant to my life now, but people still care where you went to college!! I can't understand why those 4 years matter so much??!! But they do. [/quote] Good friend as well as SIL both graduated from highly regarded LACs over 35 years ago and they wield it as the most important achievement in their lives. SIL clearly thinks I am substandard as a no-name LAC grad even though I met DH - her brother - when in grad school @ an Ivy. Both the friend and SIL have had some degree of career success, yet still cleave onto the alma mater. [/quote]
