[quote=Anonymous]I went to a top SLAC and met my husband, who went to state school, at Ivy grad. We are both very average, maybe even below average in our lifestyle and income for our ages. (Yes, one of us IS a fed middle manager, tyvm!) Now we're surrounded by people who went to lower ranked and state schools and send their kids to small colleges in PA I'd never heard of. They will start careers earlier than we did and do better than us if they just avoid graduating into recessions and hiding out in grad school during their 20s. We know plenty of people in the trades who do well too and own their own businesses. It's frankly a bit of a relief to not have the fear of our kids not making it into the UMC. It's fine here in the middle-middle. They like free time and relaxing at home and my oldest really resists more than one organized activity at a time, but he does very well in school and loves to read, so I'm just not worried. [/quote]
