[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No because getting into an Ivy (for me at least) would have required family support and I didn't have that. I'm glad I didn't get hung up on it was okay going to a state flagship on scholarship and graduated from undergrad without loans. My biggest regret was that I didn't take advantage of that to major in what I really wanted (English) and instead did a more practical major and went to law school. I wish I knew now what I didn't know then -- that you are the one who actually has to live your life, so you might as well do something you enjoy with it.[/quote] I grew up in a state that had basically free in state tuition and the practical reality was that the cost of an Ivy league education (which was half what it is now back then) simply didn't make financial sense. Not for middle class families. I'm very happy with my career and trajectory.[/quote]
