[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think many posters are caught in a bubble. I recently switched doctors, and my new doctor mentioned that one of his kids didn’t go to college at all and is instead doing an apprenticeship. That surprised me, since you’d assume a doctor’s child would be aiming for a top college. Another one of his kids did get into highly ranked schools but chose to start at Montgomery College because he didn’t think paying $80–90k per year was justified.

Outside of the DCUM bubble, it seems like more people are making practical, level-headed decisions as college costs continue to skyrocket. A lot of the school snobbery you see is really just people trying to justify the expense and feed their own egos.[/quote]

It’s odd you would think that way.  Maybe because there are so many government workers in the area and there’s a lot of group think?  Making a lot of assumptions.

Outside of the bubble, people who can pay full price for college or trade school don’t always base their decisions on feeding their egos.  They look for what’s best for their child.   NYC is full of artists of all kinds.  Juilliard, NYU, Academy's for Acting, Ballet Schools, children of doctors included.  They come from all over the world and typically don’t have money issues.    There are plenty of AI jobs that don’t need a degree and pay well.   The more talent the employee has the higher up they climb. [/quote]
