[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, OP.

Just a week ago, a status-obsessed parent told me that a student attending U of Toledo had better be prepared to live in Ohio because that is the only place they’d find a job. 😂🤣😂🤣

Wow!  You were so stung by that comment.  You have now referenced it 3 times.  Not what I said.  I said it is more difficult to get a job outside the region from a regional school.  I’m sorry that ruins your plans for your kid to go to UT.  As I said, I have several relatives that went there and it is a decent education but indeed harder to get a job.  Both my husband and I attended regional schools.  We got jobs in different regions but it is harder than getting one in the region where you went to school because people know the school and there is a network.

I am far from status obsessed, which is very clear from the schools my kid is applying to.  I think the USNWR rankings are a horrible thing.  You know nothing about me, but feel free to keep mischaracterizing my statement.  Your ignorance is showing.

Laugh all you want.

NP. You do come across as exceptionally status-obsessed. [/quote]

Really?  I’m really not.  I just don’t think a kid from Cleveland State is as competitive in NY as a kid from Pace.[/quote]
