As a computer professional, I can tell you that the school he attends won’t make a bit of difference. Employers are interested in whether he can do the job. Too many students pass up perfectly good scholarships for a chance to attend elite schools only to find out that their student loan payments are more than they bargained for. Most of the time the payments easily offset their salary gains. It’s no way to start a career. The best bang for the buck is a scholarship. Everybody wins. Now he has an employable degree without debt.
