My main question is simply this; does it necessarily which University/College you graduate from? Has anyone on here graduated from a "no namer" meaning a school that is young or is a local influence (like Perimeter, or my hometown Shawnee) I'm asking cuz I'm trying to graduate with as little debt as possible. UNLESS it just doesnt matter cuz its unavoidable.

I'm asking those who are a lil older 26+ that are in their careers. Because I am very shaky on this and am actually really scared of debt. So please post and lmk a lil somethin bout this. My school doesnt offer what I need and I'm lookin for answers.

Thats all and thanks for reading this.

heres the difference between no name tech and University of State School / Big name private school.

The majority of what you are learning at the University of Georgia compared to say Permiter is going to be the same stuff, the difference to be quite blunt is that most people at the smarter school admit kids who are more driven and have teachers who are more qualified and better facilities.

Even so you are not learning much more at UGA.

heres the zinger though... through fraternities, alumni groups, SGA, or whatever you may be into... WHO YOU KNOW is a huge factor in what kind of job you are getting.

No better example can i think of is the University of Texas, it is a top 20 MBA, Med, and Law grad programs and the alumni there stick together, graduating there guarantees you a good job all over that state. Same goes for Vanderbilt, you are pretty much in anywhere in the South. To be honest i really doubt there is a good alumni connection from perimiter, i'm not trying to be a ****.

So in short... go for the big school man and get involved on campus. You would be surprised how much sharing connections and experiences with someone can give you that one foot in the door you need to start your career.

like the other guy said, school is the best investment you can make, its your education. Hunker down and try for HOPE if you want to stay in state, if you focus and do well then you should have no problem using the knowledge you attained to easily get out of that debt in tops 5 years.
