>>It’s not the same degree, though. If a person has an opportunity to get into a “name” school—particularly for post-graduate work—and chooses not to go because of money, that person is being foolish. There are a lot of opportunities available to people that graduate from those types of schools that simply aren’t there to the person that graduated from the commuter school.<<
No. If you do two years at a community college then a local secondary college and your grades are high enough, you get the same opportunities.
You’ve been snowed by the University scam.
I worked on the executive floor of BP American and then an Office Manager for two Psychs and three therapists. On two years of community college and a City University.
You’ve been duped, my friend.
No, you don't. If you don't believe me, take a look at the folks that are being tapped for positions in the cabinet. Where'd they all go to school? It wasn't the local commuter college. Let's take a look:
Susan Rice (UN): Stanford
Ken Salazar (Interior): Michigan Law
Eric Holder (AG): Columbia
Tim Geithner (Treasury): Dartmouth
Ray LaHood (Transporation): Bradley
Hillary: Wellesley/Yale
The list goes on. If you think you have the same opportunity to ascend to the highest escleon of America having graduated from a commuter school as some of the one that I've listed above, you're living in a dream land.
