And it was idiocy because where I am working now wouldn't even consider MN under normal circumstances. I am from employer city and know a lot of folks so they decided I would probably stay. It's like a crap shoot. Why don't they simply say "go to a top 100 school if you can, and if you get into Harvard, Yale, Berkeley or Stanford, go there."Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525246852660691811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757784031538593414.post-77873985303598120842010-02-24T01:27:43.624-06:002010-02-24T01:27:43.624-06:00Shoulda-coulda went for the scholarship at the 50 ...Shoulda-coulda went for the scholarship at the 50 (yes that's right) 3-4th tier schools I applied to... all those fee waivers for nothing!<br /><br />Although I had to go to UMN to know for sure that the grass wasn't greener.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311147007207779090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757784031538593414.post-40398068438205066342010-02-20T14:59:07.458-06:002010-02-20T14:59:07.458-06:00I would have done almost exactly what you are sayi...I would have done almost exactly what you are saying here.

I'd have gone somewhere close to the area I intended to practice in, and I'd have taken the idea of networking seriously. As it was, I moved across the country to a place I'd never stay in just so I could come out unemployed from a top 20 school. And I've got another graduate degree too, which is, as you say, not half as valuable as people like to pretend it is.<br /><br />Oy vey.LP Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00351833347015954803noreply@blogger.com
