[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents want their kids in the most elite orbits in high school to college because that’s likely where they’ll meet a spouse. You want your kids being orbited by flunkies and drunks with low ambition, be my guest. Take the bribe (merit money) to attend some tier 4 school. In all likelihood it will work out fine for your kid - - or maybe it won’t. And maybe it seems fine at first but doesn’t 10 years out.[/quote]

Are you from the 1960’s?  People no longer go to college to meet their spouse.  Most people I know don’t even get married until they’re 30’s.  They want to establish their professional careers first.[/quote]

Yes, they do. You’re just bitter you didn’t.[/quote]

Not bitter at all.  I happen to have a husband who is very close to the top in his field (is well known by people in his field) and makes well north of a million a year.  And, btw, he went to a college and law school that DCUM would scorn if they had even heard of it.  Didn’t hold him back.  He built his career and reputation himself and is first gen to college (although that was not a hook when we went to college). We met after law school.

So no, we actually focused on our studies not meeting a spouse in college.  Worked out great for us.[/quote]
