<p>I guess that’s an interesting way to think about careers. </p>
<p>I don’t really understand your financial situation, but…go to whatever school is going to be cheapest in the end. Debt sucks. You don’t want your beginning salary to be going to paying off debt longer than it needs to. This is especially important if you go on to professional school where you’ll have to shell out even more money and rack up even more debt. </p>
<p>I have no experience with Emory, but UGA probably is less homogeneous than Emory. There are definitely a lot of people from different walks of life at UGA. But I think that at either school, you’ll have the opportunity to learn “real world” skills. I don’t know the area, but perhaps being at Emory and in Atlanta might give you a skewed view (especially if you already live in Atlanta) of what the rest of Georgia looks like or what places are like outside of a city. If you’ve never experienced life out of Atlanta/the suburbs, UGA would help you see other things if you get yourself off campus.</p>
