Definitely see your point, now that you’re talking about returning to the SW USA. I think your perceptions are pretty accurate.

However, I’ve also found that where you went to school doesn’t matter that much early in your career (with obvious exceptions such as applying to a white-shoe law firm in NY or DC) and later on doesn’t matter at all, save for the fact that you did or didn’t get a great education. That remains with you for life.
