[quote=Anonymous]NO.

Unless -

1. You wanted to specifically be with a certain organization in the legal, medical or academic profession where the name of your education is paramount
2. You wanted to start in management v. work your way up in which case you go get your MBA from a top B school 
3. You wanted to specifically open up networking opportunities at a school - ie you wanted specifically to work for a company that you know does college recruiting out of that school 
4. You want to work within corporate finance or CIA/Foreign Service/public sector organization that college recruits specifically from a list of preferred top schools

Otherwise it does not matter where you go to college, from a community college to a college that nobody's heard of -

1. You can absolutely work your way to the top in almost any field.
2. You can absolutely be happy and successful in any industry.
3. You can absolutely earn a TON of money by being successful in your industry.  Better yet, own your own business and hire people out of the college you want!
4. You can absolutely be a smart, good or educated person and even all three to boot!
