I believe my son had an epiphany when he went thru his ‘interview by committee’ when going for his first job out of college. They asked a final question which he answered after about 30 seconds thought. The ‘committee’ then told him they were really impressed as they had just interviewed other candidates from schools that were ‘regarded a lot more highly’ than the school he went to, but couldn’t answer the question after more than 30 minutes of contemplation.
When his cousin asked him which schools he should consider going to, his advice was go to the cheapest one that had the subject major he wanted. Save his parents money, get a house or invest it somehow. He ended up going to Occidental on a football scholarship, blew his knee out in his Jr year and has yet to hold what I consider a ‘good’ job based on the money spent on his education by his parents.
