Sorry but spending 40k on a education to be an "assistant" anything is a total waste. Send ur child to an ice magnet or science & tech school and call It a day

"Nice magnet"

Graduated in the late 90's. Classmates are all very successful-doctors, lawyers, run startups, investment bankers, authors, veterinarians, film makers, journalists, some have run for political office, activists. Can't think of one person who isn't doing something really interesting even if it's not necessarily the most lucrative. We've decided to send our kids to private school have no idea whether or not my classmates have opted for private or public for their kids. I didn't particularly care for my high school and wouldn't send my kids there but I have to say that it has turned out a lot of successful graduates.

I know someone who went to Sidwell and is now a bartender.
