[quote=Anonymous]Recently there's been a steady, depressing drumbeat about the future jobs and lifestyles our kids are facing. One version is, there are fewer jobs and more people competing for these jobs, so your kid needs a leg up via attending a brand-name university. Another version is, the future is about using your brain not your hands, so your kid needs the best possible education. I think a lot of us absorbed these views, at least somewhat. And since we want the best for our kids, a "top" college seems like part of the answer. The good news is, now that our kids are older, and we're older too, we've learned that it's not all survival-of-the-fittest and gloom-and-doom. We look around and see our coworkers who went to no-name schools and got great educations. Plus the $60k/year pricetags have made us question the value of some private universities. [/quote]
