[quote=Anonymous]Group 1, Hustle + Ivy/elite name = most advantage
Group 2, Hustle + state college/mid-tier = still advantaged
Group 3, No/low hustle + Ivy/elite name = advantage
Group 4, State school/mid-tier/no hustle = less advantage
Group 5, very little name recognition or name recognition is not positive/no hustle = worst position

My oldest sibling and I are G2, my middle sib and husband are G3 or maybe G2.5 (medium hustle for my husband). In the end, we're all fine. Oldest sibling and I could have been in G1, but we saved a ton of $ (which enabled the G3 sibling to go to an elite name school, ha!) and are debt free. Long term, G3 is a SAHP and the other sibling and I are pretty well established in our careers/fields. SAHP has some perks too though.

G2.5/3 husband is doing fine as a fed, he could have the same job probably even if he were G3.5 and (medium hustle), low name recognition. He's a great husband (does all of the cooking) and dad to a G2 partner.

Makes sense to avoid G5.   [/quote]
