<p>My youngest is a freshman so it’s too soon to compare. But my oldest, who chose a small, regional private school in our state, where he received generous merit and athletic scholarships, will graduate (4 years) in May…and already has a job offer waiting for him upon graduation, in his field. He’s thrilled. The job is with the company with which he interned junior year. He impressed them; they want him, and he LIKES them. Salary and benefits are good, S really likes the location, it’s not too far from family…he is HAPPY. Isn’t that what it’s all about?</p>
