[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe that an recent immigrant or first generation family may genuinely believe that prestige matters because it's consistent with the overall "brand" of the American dream. However, it's simply incorrect. Upward mobility comes from a bit of educational success and a lot of professional and financial success. To echo the points of others, plenty of Ivy grads are sitting at desks and roaming in Target aisles next to folks who went to a perfectly mid-ranked state school. The key is what you learn, what opportunities you seize and what you do after school to build the foundation for your family. I understand that this rocks the cliche assumption that East and South Asian families "demand" top education, but ultimately they would be better served focusing their finances and energy in other areas.
