Agree it all depends on what career path your kids choose. As has been mentioned–for some careers, a degree from a particular university seems to make a difference–others–not so much.
Two of our kids wanted to be MD’s, and their Ivy degrees have worked out well for them. Not only are they doing what they love–saving people’s
lives–they are helping others who want to do the same. Both of them knew what they wanted to do from very early ages, and it’s been a very interesting and challenging journey for the whole family.
That’s not to say that MD’s who graduate from other schools are not doing well or making a valuable contribution to society, but I can only speak to my own kids experience.
