[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard, for example, as it’s average career salary 10 years out listed as being in the six figures. But that does not mean your child will have access to the jobs that yield that. Your normal Larla doesn’t have a job waiting for her at the family’s hedge fund when she graduates from Harvard like, at one point, most of Harvard students did. [/quote]

No, but don't discount the friend groups they make.  My husband grew up dirt poor and went to a prestigious private University with aid.  His best friend since Freshmen year's family had connections and that is how he obtained his first job out of college... which then launched his independent career by his own hard work.  But--in a very tight job market those connections certainly helped.[/quote]

Was your DH an athlete? How did he meet this friend, seems like they would be in different circles (at my private university the rich kids had cars and went to the city or skiing on weekends — I was working in the student dining hall)[/quote]

Not pp, but I went to a SLAC as professional's kid. My freshman roommate's father was a Fortune 500 ceo. We ended up being pretty close. At least back in the day, roommates were randomly assigned, so rich kids were mixed with everyone else. Of course my school was isolated enough that no-one left for weekends. [/quote]
