[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus.  Can all of you with the freaking obsession re: Ivy League and who goes to the top school (high school, really?) just shut up already?Women, those of you with the obsession, what the hell do you do for a living?  What have you accomplished since graduating from your top private prep or Ivy league school?   Married a successful man?   Had kids, that you can perpetuate the madness ?  It is so obvious that the majority of theese ridiculous postings are from SAHM with nothing better to do  than obsess and try to live vicariously through their children.  Get a life already.  As a woman, I'm  seriously embarassed. Enough  already, please just shut up!  [/quote]

I am a lawyer now working in policy and administration at an international financial institution dedicated to a mission I care deeply about.  I love my job, my team, and our work.  My husband's great, and our kids are happy, engaged and kind.  Our kids are at a "Big 3" in DCUM parlance.  As for their academic futures, I hope and expect for them to search out areas of interest and work hard.  Neither DH nor I care whether they go to "ivy" schools, but I care very much that they work hard in school, do their best, and be sensible in choosing between colleges.  For my DH and me, going to a top ivy opened up professional doors.  Plus, I loved college and law school, made many life-long friends, and often have a presumption of competence and intelligence that many people give to graduates of the top-ranked schools.  I'm not at all obsessed with where my kids eventually go to college. I have seen, though, benefits in my profession of going to top-ranked schools, and I'd hope my kids keep those types of things in mind in choosing a school.  Not at all embarassed.  [/quote]
