[quote=scaredyclassic]My fancy ivy league pedigree paid for by my folks made my mom very angry that I was sending my kid to SDSU. Hell I wouldn’t even let him apply anywhere expensive. She felt like I was being a cheapskate and not paying forward what I got.
The kid was cool with that. Kids are OK with some direction.
Prestige. Held me back in some ways. I should’ve been in a state school.[/quote]
I’m not quite sure why I went in hindsight. I guess I just wanted to get out of CA and try something different. In hindsight, probably not the smartest move for engineering.
Anyway, my kid decided she wanted to be a fashion designer and at one point wanted to be a professional cheerleader. I think we settled on fiction novelist for the time being.
So why I’m talking or worried about Ivy League school is beyond me…..
I guess karma is circling back around and paying me a visit despite all the things I say about how great STEMs should be for kids…lol….
