[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the thing: every community needs doctors, lawyers, investment professionals, and small business folks. If you live in Des Moines, who is going to fill those roles? Probably not people from Harvard. Oftentimes, it’s people who went to State U. But guess what…doctors in Des Moines get paid a lot like those here. So, in some roles, you can live in a second- or third-tier city, do what you love without attending a Top 20 school, and make good money doing it. [/quote] Sure, doctors make good money in rural towns , but good luck coasting through life and getting through med schools. Lawyers don't make much money in rural towns, nor do investment professionals; maybe some small businesses can do well, until Wal-Mart comes to town and crushes you...[/quote]
