[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“I'm so confused. Some poster cries out, consistently, that CTCL grads don't land jobs or need to go to grad school to do so. Then someone points out that a lot of players on one sports team now work at large corporations - what many parents would say is a good ROI - and that's damning.”

I’m a CTCL grad (Lawrence - great education and the merit aid made a difference). My classmates do really awesome things that are incredibly important for our culture and society. Like run zoos and museums (and be zookeepers and museum curators). Like teach music and direct high school bands and be school principals. Like be professional musicians (from opera singers to jazz musicians to world class orchestra members). Like be your child’s college professor who is going to give them research opportunities and write great recommendations to get them into grad school. Like serve as the only family practice physician in a rural area.

And, yeah, they don’t get paid much, especially in DCUM land. But you know what? They’re happy, productive members of society.  Often times, they are  the people that a community relies upon to run the PTA and volunteer at the church. So when Negative CTCL Nelly comes on here, I just shrug. We all pretty content with our school choice. [/quote]

This is a great post, a good reminder that our communities and their institutions rise and fall based on a range of diverse members with myriad interests and talents. [/quote]
