[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize this is a DC forum, but I live in the midwest. This conversation is so odd to me. 
People here don't care where the potential employee went to school, they wouldn't even look at that.  In fact, we would consider it funny if someone attended Ivy league. We all need somewhere to go Saturday in the fall to drink beer to cheer on our alma mater- hence our respective state school football games. 
That said, our income is probably $330,000. The public schools where we live are outstanding. We did not pay for all of our children's secondary education in entirety, and no one went to grad school. No one makes 100k right out of college here so it wouldn't have mattered where they attended. 
Just a different perspective. I'm not sure what we would have done had we lived on the East coast. I get the part about controlling the outcome. I have never thought of that.

Just FYI "secondary education" or "secondary school" means grades 6-12th or 9-12th. It means, the school that comes after "primary school" also called elementary. When people say they are paying for "secondary education" they mean private high school. Sounds like you were referring to college/undergrad. [/quote]
