This seems incredibly hard to shake. Whenever the discussion of affording college comes up I bring up the affordable schools I know of, which I count as anything with less than $10k of tuition and fees a year. The response is usually that you will never get a good job if you attend one of those schools. It's as if somewhere it gets into peoples minds that if you don't spend $40k on tuition a year then your education was worthless.
- blancheneige 8y agothis has been my experience has well. most of the recruiters that have contacted me have at some point admitted they specifically targeted top 10 schools only
- bdcravens 8y agoThat's because (some) recruiters are lazy. If you came from a top 10, then of course the recruiters calling you would be restricting to that list. That's confirmation bias.
- bdcravens 8y agoPerhaps if you think success is only working at a FAANG or a unicorn in SF, this may be true, but there's way too many people making great incomes to disprove that.
- ngngngng 8y agoTrue. I'm a dropout that's making great income, but not at a FAANG or a unicorn. Honestly i'm tempted to get a job at one of those just to be sure I could do it.
