[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child went to a regional university, not top 100 school, community college...Do you think it hurt them in life at all? Trying to get perspective on all this from people with older children.[/quote]

I can speak to other children (now adults).

Adult 1: They attended a regional university after not being able to get into the flagship. They earn a good living in CS--probably more than $150K/year. They seem happy too.

Adult 2: They attended community college and transferred to a T100-T150. They joined the government and have had about 30 years with the government. They own three real estate properties.

Adult 3: Attended regional university. Picked up by a government agency and have semi-retired from there. They enjoy a good life with more than one real estate property and healthy finances.

Adult 4: This one is younger. They attended community college and transferred to a regional college. Due to ADHD, they had a rocky start. They found a job they are very good at and have been in that job for years. This is huge for them. They underperformed in high school and struggled through college. It took them a while but they did it. They are very good at their job, and I think they are paid well too.

I hope this helps you, OP! There are a lot of paths to happiness.
