Well, my own story too, I guess. I went to a well-respected private school and it has never paid off in any tangible way. Also true of my wife, who invested $150K in a highly-regarded private college. And that's been worth squat.

We both got 'good' grades, but no doubt our GPAs would have been higher if we went to Podunk U. Graduating with a 3.2 from an ivy league or 4.0 from Podunk U.... who would you hire (be honest).

Both of us, if we could do it again, would have done two years at JC and finish at a specialized program offered by a state school. Online? Maybe! Several state schools offer it too.
