[quote=Anonymous]Decades ago, I chose my alma mater—one of the so-called T10 schools in the U.S. News rankings—largely because of its location, not its ranking. At the time, perceptions of universities felt far more grounded than they do today. What I find puzzling now is why some people (perhaps Gen Z?) seem to believe that getting into a top school is the only path to a lucrative career. That certainly wasn’t the case in my day. Perhaps today’s economic conditions have turned college admissions into a rat race. The real question is whether these rankings truly reflect our children’s talents or potential. I doubt they do. Yet some people treat a school’s name as a bragging right. The reality is that once you’re well into your career, no one cares where you went to school—it’s always about what you do with your life.[/quote]
