This is CC where if you go into business that means you are working on Wall Street or Washington, if CS that means Facebook, Apple, Google, and the list goes on. It makes me wonder where the rest of us work at lol?
I think paying that king of money for UG is borderline stupid for all, but the rarest of circumstances. As I have posted many times before I’ve worked for P&G and work for Nestle with engineers from (name a college 100’s over the years) they all make about the same. State flagship, satellite campus of state flagship, or MIT the band range was similar and in our HR dept it truly didn’t matter where you received your degree from. Your interview, experience, and soft skills were more important than where you degree was from.
Same goes for nursings, premed, prelaw, pre pa, teaching, unless the student is going to Wall street guaranteed or a must go to a top 10 law school and even then do they know that as a freshman?
75k vs 150k the experience could be worth it, happiness, small classes, etc
75k vs 300k maybe for the super rich that live in circles where parents think a Dartmouth is worth that more than Texas A&M for instance. I know 0 people that think that.
