[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody cares where you get your undergraduate degree. I'd tell her that I'd pay for a year of travel once she's done if she chooses the cheaper school. Hell, she'd learn more in that year than 4 years at either institution.[/quote] I'm always curious about these remarks? What lessons do you gain from travel that are actually career related? My accounting skills weren't used that much, I doubt my friends law degree was really enhanced by a year backpacking around Europe? I think you could argue that in scrappy enough circumstances in sketchy countries they learn to hussle and be independent... Or end up on some dicey situations. And most 20 years spend a lot of time drinking, just like in college! I learned a lot in college, but maybe PP went to some fancy prep school if her parents had money to bankroll a year of traveling? I could see, especially in non technical / non science fields college may be fairly lateral academic move. [/quote]
