RevDem, thank you for clarifying as I may have misunderstood. I also just was trying to state my position clearly as your summary of it wasn't an entirely accurate picture. No problem.

I agree with what you have just written. For certain there are SOME people whose aim is a brand name school and perceive that will translate into greater income. As can be seen on this thread, there are students like you, others who have posted, as well as my own kids who attend "elite" colleges but for different motives.

And just to be clear, I do think going to college, and even a "good" college will increase OPPORTUNITIES but I don't define those in economic terms. I believe you would be on that same wavelength.
