Sure as hell makes it far easier though. It’s true there are exceptions - people who went to mediocre state schools or unimpressive mid tier schools and ended up at the top professionally, but it’s not the norm. One major reason people want their kids to go to top colleges is it gives them a huge advantage for the rest of their lives. Everything in the graduate school world (med, law, business, etc…), the professional world, and even (gag) the social world, is heavily influenced by where you went to college. Yes, people can and do figure out their own path around the hierarchy and beat it but you have to be exceptional to do so. Most people don’t.

Prove it empirically. I’d like to see how you back your statement up.

A list of colleges attended by the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies is one way.

These girls going to Clemson are not making a good decision. The coach has a bad reputation and it’s not a very good school. They are top players who could be going anywhere. It’s sad.

Going to Clemson would be a blast! Have you ever been to a Clemson football game? It’s not Harvard, but I would have zero issues if my daughter played Lacrosse there. Talk about a great overall college experience. There is no professional league where girls can make millions of dollars playing lacrosse. College is the final destination. Let the kids enjoy themselves before they’re stuck behind a desk for 40 years.

This would not be the first time I’ve heard others say Kwolek can be difficult to play for.

Going to Clemson over Yale, Michigan, etc. will ensure she is behind a desk and not running the show....or she will become a women's lacrosse coach.....
