[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nice try. But you’re trying to educate people with very limited views of the world.

There are professions where academic credentials seem to matter. And people who live in these worlds can see only these futures for their kids. So the struggle to help them get into the “best” colleges.

As we know, there’s a world outside of the bubbles these people live in. Where you went to college is never a concern. I know people here in DC who have amassed huge fortunes who attended Maryland, GW and Lasalle in Philadelphia.[/quote]

I am a financial advisor and you are right. Most of my clients who freak out about attending highly selective colleges are engineers. The clients that made a lot of money in finance, sales, tech, or started a business, seem to love any in state school. It's the "it worked for me mentality."

People are losing their minds if they think UMD won't allow their kid to be wildly successful. From a cost standpoint, you could set aside 150K+ for you kid once they graduate and you'll still save money when comparing it to GW, AU or Georgetown.[/quote]
