[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Girls tend to find spouses at college or through college friends. [/b]Who's your daughter going to meet at Michigan? Half the kids are middle class Michigan residents; the other half are kids that were rejected from Berkeley (California students), Brown, Penn and Cornell. 1/2 the boys are engineering or business (at Ross, a marketing school). Statistically, if your daughter meets her husband at Michigan, he's most likely going to be a future Ford engineer or mid-level manager at Kraft/Heinz.

At Brown a likely mate possessed the candle power (and/or $) to get into an Ivy, will be conditioned, respect culture, cosmopolitan, and post-grad will likely end up in finance, or a top tier law/medical school.

What an ageist/sexist remark!  I certainly didn't look for a husband at my SLAC nor at yale law school  I was there to learn what I needed to do and excel.  My message to both of my kids is that time spent dating in high school, college, is wasted time  Focus on your studies and all will fall into place.  Are you from the south?  Seriously, no one thinks about MRS degrees anymore.  And, finally, i wouldn't want my kid to marry anyone from Brown because I know that they got an ultra liberal chopped-up version of an education as opposed to the Great Books series at chicago or Columbia.  Taking a bunch of isolated courses of your own pick does not an intellectual make.[/quote]

I'm not talking about a marry at 22 stay-at-home southern belle MRS degree. But many spouses meet in college or something li[b]ke reconnecting in your mid 20s with someone you first met welcome week. It happens frequently.[/quote][/b]

No it doesn't!  At least not on the professional level.  Maybe if you go no further than a bachelors degree but even at my SLAC no women were running around for MRS. degrees.  And why are you assuming that OP's daughter should go to Brown because the MALE there would be a better provider?  Why not her own DAUGHTER being the better provider?  Your view of college life for women is really skewed.  Did you go to college just to get a husband?  Why can't OP's daughter go to Michigan, use Michigans great name and contacts and go on to an Ivy for professional school as I did?  I made 3 x what my husband made when I married him  And his pedigree had more prep schools and Ivy elites on it than mine.  It's all what you do with yourself, with your major, your selection of major, and your placemen tin your class so you can place in a good ivy for graduate work.  You couldn't pay me to send my kids to Brown where they will take a hodge-podge of courses like "THe use of phallus imagery in contemporary movies".  If you want money, go for engineering, technology, Computer Science at an xlnt state school and save the money for graduate work at an Ivy.  No one cares where you did undergrad.  It's the grad. work that counts - unless you are married and stuck with two kids.  Seriously this is one of the weirdest posts I've ever seen on DCUM.[/quote]
