[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they go to those schools and major in useless stuff, then good luck. Of course it's better than majoring in useless stuff at a mediocre school, however it has more to do with major. [/quote] Who has the luxury of useless degrees? I was first gen and went into engineering and did fine, even though a different science might have been my first pick if money was no object. I knew I had to have a career track right out of undergrad. What you may not know about being poor is that you don't pick up merchandise unless you already know the price of it. I knew the other degrees were not in my budget. [/quote] Lots of lesser prepared kids get weeded out of “useful” majors like engineering, biology, computer science, physics & statistics. Even nursing (although Princeton doesn’t offer that). [/quote]
