<p>Anyone who says finance is worthless unless you come from a top school has no idea of what they’re talking about and has been sipping a little too much of the CC kool-aid. I know two people that went to a very small, unknown college that is known around my hometown as being the party school that no one takes seriously. They both came out of college with finance degrees and high GPAs. The one kid got offered a six figure salary to be a financial planner in DC and the other became a branch manager of a major bank in Baltimore. Needless to say they are both doing very well for themselves just a couple years out of school thanks to their “worthless” finance degrees.</p>
