Transferring to Ivy’s, Stanford, MIT, etc

If you’re planning to do computer science, you’re wasting your time and money seeking for prestige. In tech, your worth is judged on what you know and how well you can do the job. I’ve worked with great programmers who went to big universities and with college dropouts. I’ve been doing programming for several years now and I haven’t once been asked where I went to school. I went to a regional state university. In my most recent job search, I interviewed at Amazon, Google, GA Tech, University of KY, Universal Studios, and Alamo Colleges. I turned down interviews at ASU, Target Corporation, Stanford Medical, and UNC-Chapel Hill.

If you’re worried about employability and making a great living, I promise you’ll be fine at Michigan. You don’t need the extra debt for those other schools. It won’t benefit you.
