I think this is one of the biggest issues with the people who get frustrated when their low-level school fails to get them "that big money." Many have heard their whole lives that education is this great equalizer and that once you have a degree--any degree--you're set and all your financial problems are gone forever and ever.
What people fail to realize, however, is that education is only one piece of the puzzle. Where you went, how you did, and who you meet along your way to said degree makes a lot of difference as well. These are often the same people who get sucked in by online schools and get the idea that if you go to law school--any law school, you'll be living large like Claire Huxtable.
How do we explain the appeal of a place like Cooley?
