When everyone is on a different page, how do you handle?

My husband seems to really not want either child at a small school. He wants them in big name schools. He feels they won’t get jobs and it will follow them for the rest of their lives in they don’t graduate from well known and respected schools.

<p>“Big name” is in the eye of the beholder. I totally get from a Texan perspective, Texas A&M is a “big name” and I don’t doubt that you can get valuable alum networking opportunities there and Texas is your oyster. Elsewhere - I’m not really convinced Texas A&M is a “big name,” other than that we’ve all heard of it through sports presence.
Which is fine - but don’t confuse Texas with the rest of the country.</p>
