Going to an elite college means nothing anymore.
“Going to an elite college means nothing anymore.”
True. I have a friend who went to UC Berkeley while I went to a culinary academy. Four years later she’s piling up debt and is worried about finding work after she graduates this year. Me? I work sporadically, am married, have four kids, and have no debt. My girlfriend can’t even imagine being where I am for at least 15-20 years.
In short, elite colleges are a scam and the reason the banks make student loans is because it’s illegal for them to buy slaves.
That’s not completely true. If you’re an engineer, schools like MIT, Purdue, Carnegie Melon, Stanford, etc. help with better job placement. Certain financial institutions only hire from top tier MBA programs. If you’re taking AA or women’s studies, Starbucks doesn’t care.
