Did I make the wrong college choice?

Thanks all for the input. Let me provide a little background for my problem.

First, I am still at Sprint and I haven’t applied for any jobs as of yet. I just based my question on what I have seen and heard since I moved to NYC. When I first applied for the Sprint job I had to complete for the final position with an Upenn candidate and I got it over him. So as you can see I have never been bothered by prestige ( or I wouldn’t have transferred) and it never affected me during my Philly life.

The reason I want to leave Sprint is that the company is going through so many changes and I feel quite stagnant in my position right now. Although I haven’t fully decided to leave Sprint yet I thought of exploring my options by applying for other jobs:/

On a fuuny note, I think the dating situation in NYC has affected my low self esteem on my college of choice as well. I go on dates with Ivy, Vanderbilt, Duke grads and when they ask about my school I feel a little embarrassed. I think that’s another issue related to the depression I am going through and I am currently seeking therapy for that.

I’ll keep you updated. Thanks.

P.S: Sorry for spelling errors I am typing this on a phone.
