[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is in business.  The difference is night and day between good brand name schools vs mediocre no name schools.

[b]You get excellent initial opportunities into great consulting firms, finance, investment banking etc. that will soon lead to 6 figure income[/b] by attending good schools(so called target schools).

If you go to a mediocre no name school, then good luck. You won't even get an interview.

This is delusional and wrong. Only the [b]top[/b] students at target colleges get those six-figure job offers. And they prepare for those by curating the perfect resume starting freshman year, with all the right clubs, finance prep outside of class, networking events, and a near perfect GPA. It's not like you just show up to career fair day as a junior and waltz into a $25,000 Goldman Sachs summer internship.[/quote]

I went to a no-name college but ended up with a great opportunity in my hometown which led to a great high profile job (that had killer hours that I was willing to put in).  There are lots of paths - depends on the drive and dedication of the kid. [/quote]
