[quote=Anonymous]College changed the trajectory of my life because I met my husband there, and also because I never left my college town (DC). I was admitted to a T10 school and didn't go because of finances...and I do sometimes wonder how my life would have differed if I'd gone there. I don't think my career would have been all that different--I was well-prepared right out of undergrad and got a great first job that could have led anywhere in my field. I don't think a more prestigious degree would have served me any better. But I would have lived somewhere else and married someone else...can't imagine that being better, either, just different. My only regret, if it is fair to call it that, is that I live somewhere where people assume so much about you based on where you went to school. I'll admit I have a little bit of a chip on my shoulder about that. [/quote]
