Yeah, for the vast majority it is not about achieving some extraordinarily famous position, it is about having the professional career of their choosing, where really what happens at career peak is much more about the tradeoffs they choose and how they perform than where they went to college.
And that’s fine, these fancy colleges work great for that, with a higher margin for error, widespread networks both in terms of fields and location, and so on. But again those are virtues that don’t always mean much to individuals who don’t need that margin for error, who want next steps their college is chosen to be really good for, and so on. So you have to be careful when paying a lot more versus really excellent alternatives like UVA.
