Insomnia thoughts: I went to a state school & was able to get a large % of my cheap tuition covered by college. I got a degree in a different field than the one I work in & have a successful career in an industry where many peers went to Ivy Leagues and are still in debt.

When I was planning for college, I was set on top tier schools but decided on state school because I have a deep fear of debt. I really thought I would be losing out on huge opportunities, but find myself in a comparable position to those who chose the Ivy/public Ivy path

While those schools definitely open up meaningful opportunities and give students a leg up, I’d encourage anyone entering the industry today to consider alternative higher education options.

The university experiences that were most valuable built my work ethic, helped me explore possibilities (research science wasn’t for me), and gave me real working experience (thanks
@NevadaSagebrush and internship-focused education). These are not exclusive to top tier schools.1 reply 0 proslijeđenih tweetova 2 korisnika označavaju da im se sviđaPrikaži ovu nit -
If there’s any other money-anxious, pre-college folks who want to get into the industry, still want to go to college, and don’t want to be in crippling debt, I’m here to tell you that it’s possible.

It did not, however, teach me healthy sleep patterns.

Also, this is Twitter so I should clarify that this does not mean top tier schools are universally a bad choice. Going into debt to attend a big name school may or may not be the best option for you, but it’s important to know there *are* options.
