College Response post !

I had found this quote from a debate about whether or not going to and elite college has an affect on your success in life. The quote was found in a reading by Martha O'connell which was a response to others that were writing about this subject also. 

Even better is giving the students an assignment to identify the happy, successful people in their own circle of family, friends, co-workers and neighbors and challenging them to go and ask “if or where they went to college?” as a means of broadening the conversation in their search for a life after high school.The key to success in college and beyond has more to do with what students do with their time during college than where they choose to attend.

 All though i do agree with O'connell i do feel as though it does matter because if anyone can get the same education then wouldn't it be harder for someone to get the same job as someone else who has also gotten that degree. Yet when you are against someone who also has the same degree as you, but they see that you had gotten your degree from Stanford University apposed to College of Alameda. They most likely are going to choose you because they might think if you come from a school that is held to a higher standard then you must set your goals and worth ethic also to a higher standard. Where as they might think well if you go to a Jr. College that is probably easy to attend. Most likely it is easy to pass which shows them that you haven't really worked hard. Which has them think you don't usually work hard or you haven't worked hard. When you go to a prestige college they look at you as a prestige student. When you go to an average college they look at you as an average student. So all in all education is every where. After you have been through the process of getting your degree and you are able to compete with other people it all matters on who took that extra mile to look good
