I guess I was just trying to make the point that it seems many believe that the “ultimate education” will immediately transport their children to their desired destination, but it’s really much more complicated than that–because, as you have mentioned before–the competitiion is fierce–especially in CA.
For example, two of my kids acquired executive positions in the entertainment industry, just out of college (definitely their “dream jobs.”)
The competition was incredible–Ivy MBA’s like them at every interview–but, some friends in the industry came through, and it made all the difference.
So, I’m really just saying, that, from my experience, whatever your kid’s dream job turns out to be, it just might take more than a diploma to get them there.
