[quote=Anonymous]I dropped out of high school because it was boring and the people were terrible.  My parents said I had to go to CC instead if I wanted to use their car.  I went to Howard CC for a semester, then three state schools. After working and doing a master's in Europe, did a PhD at an Ivy.  I now work at a major research university on the west coast.

After attending seven universities in three countries, and teaching at four, I am totally shocked at how much time and energy people here put into the college application and deciding process. The quality of teaching is not that different.  Probably better at HCC than at the Ivy because the teachers cared about teaching, not cranking out pubs.  You can learn stuff in any of these contexts, and you get out what you put in.  Plenty of students at these high-end places are burning their parents money and not getting any smarter.    FWIW, my spouse never went to college and earns twice as much as I do.  College is overrated.[/quote]
