I agree with you. I think every situation has to be looked at in its entirety and purely material gains shouldn't be the primary driver of the decision of where to send your children to college. "For what shall it profit a man . . ." The environment of forced compliance with leftism in all its forms is truly oppressive on a campus like Brown, and it permeates every aspect of life there. That's an overwhelmingly difficult crucible to ask your 18 year old child to undergo and be strong enough to come out on the other side as the type of person you'd want them to be.
I was simply pointing out the inaccuracy of the other extreme that I often see in threads like this, that it literally doesn't matter at all where you go and that enough gumption and elbow grease will get you to the same material endpoint regardless of the university you attend.

Other than trying to work on wall street or get into specific law firms it doesnt really matter that much past tier 2 anyway.
In certain fields, having attended an Ivy League or one of a small handful of other schools (Virginia, Georgetown, MIT, U of Chicago, Stanford, a couple others depending on the field) is all that matters when it comes to getting your foot in the door.
Who's clerking for USSC Justices? Who's serving as assistants and aides to US Senators as a first job out of college? Who's stepping straight into $200k/year jobs at white shoe law firms in New York, DC, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago right out of law school? Who's being hired to work in US Attorney's offices in New York, DC, Virginia, Chicago, Boston? Who's being hired into leadership pipeline roles at the CIA, FBI, DoJ, State Department?

Something something "free market" . . . something something "entitled" . . . something something "lazy" . . . something something "don't know what a woman is" . . . something something "african american studies."
