This is true, they are also free to change schools when they are of adult age. They can also gain additional credits from that state's community colleges, the local ones have more likely transferrable credits.
An internship helped me, I was enrolled in a state school yet was pushing pencils the same as a Princeton student, this made realized the school name wasn't going to change anything in this path, just whatever technicality lets me get the degree.
For business, capital and investment banking, Ivy League puts you very far ahead, but outside of that, especially if your life involves working for someone else, the trade and the school are largely irrelevant compared to just having a degree, which also has limited relevance in many fields.

Do you have a source for this statement?
- ringaroundthetx 9y agoNo, I've just been involved in capital raises and several public ones. People are more interested in other people that were involved with Ivy League. How do you feel about that?
- supplied_demand 9y agoI feel like you are using anecdotal evidence to reinforce a belief that you never proved.

- and0 9y agoWhat exactly is going to inform them within the 4 years they spend at a college that they should not go to that college? Will one of their professors politely inform them they're getting scammed? And when will they be adult age? Even if they somehow became aware 2 years after attending that it's a waste of money, then they've already lost the ability to leverage community college for general courses with automatic acceptance into state (one of the less expensive paths) and racked up a ton of debt. Why not just finish it at that point? We need regulation at the federal level to fix this.
- ringaroundthetx 9y agoRegulation? Possibly, it is a big enough social problem to warrant it Im not exactly a proponent of regulating peoples impressionability, gullibility and lack of objective reasoning Extremely Simple math is what should inform them within four years But since that isnt happening I could see them becoming a large enough bloc to vote for such regulation of the human condition
