[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With AI progressing so quickly, college prestige may matter less and less. People won’t need a degree to prove their abilities. Seeing so many Gen Z job struggles—unemployment, low wages, outsourcing, H-1B competition—makes it feel like our kids are just fighting to survive. It’s hard to know whether a college degree still makes a difference.[/quote]

Uh no. Top colleges will always matter[/quote]

Maybe to the poor who don’t pay a dime but ROI matters and the ROI just isn’t there anymore for full pay students.[/quote]

You sound stupid trying to argue that full pay students are passing on ivy league credential based on ROI[/quote]

Well not just that but people don't want to consider it for several reasons including ROI. Sorry that bursts your bubble that's it's just so elite and everyone is dying to go. [b]Smart rich kids are taking their wealth and connections elsewhere.[/quote][/b]

This just isn’t true.[/quote]

Of course it is. If you’re already connected what do you need it for?[/quote]

Because that's not how connections work.

If you don't need to even go to college then you really want college for the social connections and the social connections at a place like Alabama are all new money of provincial southern society folks.[/quote]

That’s not true at all. The truly wealthy go to college wherever they want to socialize with each other. Which they can do anywhere. Thinking your poor kids are going to get to know them and land internships through their new connections is laughable.[/quote]

I never said any of those things and the truly wealthy aren't getting driven out of Yale and Harvard because some middle class kids around them are studying hard.  They are still going to Yale and Harvard to socialize.  I don't know who you think is going to believe that they have decided to go to Alabama.  Alabama is mostly new money UMC.[/quote]

Harvard needs the wealthy more than the wealthy need Harvard.[/quote]
