[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the issue: nowadays, most high-caliber women want to wait a while to see what they and a future mate might become. No one wants to marry a non-ambitious dude and regret it.

So, unless your son is heading out to a clear lucrative pathway - medical school, law school, Wall Street followed by business school, etc. - no high-end girl wants to hitch a ride immediately after undergraduate school. If the girl comes from a modest or religious background or is unambitious herself, she might be interested in an engineer or CS dude with a good paying job right out of school. [/quote]

That’s why graduate school is better - you have a better sense of where you and your potential mate are headed. [/quote]

Do you  think grad school will be an option with AI? I'm finding it less likely.

As society becomes more insular because of the internet (look at us right now, spending our time talking to anonymous strangers) then you really only have your high school friends, college friends and work friends to choose a spouse from.  College seems to be the best option out of the three.

Also want to echo an earlier writer that it is important that your kids protect their reputations in college. People at elite schools are often connected to other students at elite schools because they went to the same high school or ended up working at the same place. With LinkedIn and FB its all to easy to see who you have in common.
