money or pride? (and college...)

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>just picture yourself deciding between colleges for a moment...
would you rather attend an amazingly PRESTIGIOUS college that will offer you a lifetime of PRIDE (your own) and ADMIRATION (from others), or would you choose the pretty good college that would very likely and quickly help get you a VERY VERY VERY high-paying job.</p>

<p>once again the choices are:
A) the most pretigious college, where only the best of the best can think of getting in----guaranteed lifetime of admiration from your peers
B) a pretty good college that will get you a job that will make you RICH RICH RICH $$$$$$</p>

<p>so... MONEY or PRESTIGE?</p>

<p>sorry for this annoying and very shallow topic, but i just have to know what people would choose out. =P </p>

<p>(and hopefully you all will pick neither of the above in real life, but instead choose the college that you will be the happiest at.)</p>

<p>Meh. Another question about the importance of money. I'd generally say I would do what I want in life if I'm pretty sure I can live off the money it supplies me (i.e., not become a beggar).</p>

3

<p>hmmm, i'd choose money.</p>

4

<p>hey, thanks for replying! yeah. money is good. but remember, the pretigious college will not leave you penniless after graduation. it's just that choice B would lead you to significantly more money. =)</p>

5

<p>B. Money would do more for me than pride, especially since going to the best college wouldn't give me that much pride.</p>

6

<p>Money. I can use it to fund my parents' retirement.</p>

7

<p>you could say b and then bribe the right people so you can go back and do a.</p>

8

<p>I would chose Money. Pride doesn't matter to me, because pride does not correlate with my happiness at a school. Also, if I liked both schools equally, I would go the school that costs me less.</p>

9

<p>i'd actually choose pride</p>

10

<p>So would I.</p>

11

<p>I choose option A. Respect is worth more money than money in my opinion, if that makes any sense.</p>

12

<p>Moneyyyyy.</p>

13

<p>O<em>O; Tough question....I can't choose. ></em><</p>

14

<p>Money. Screw pride.</p>

15

<p>Money, simply because I could care less if snobs respect me because I went to a more prestigious college..I hate people like that..</p>

16

<p>Money.....</p>

17

<p>I choose MONEY!
I could care less about attending a prestigious university. As long as I get a diploma, and make lots of $$$, I really wouldn't care where I would attend.</p>

18

<p>i'd choose the less prestigous one</p>

19

<p>I would pick B because your friends will greatly admire you greatly for the money, so you'd get pride AND a sweet paycheck.</p>

<p>what kind of school would give you a high paying job quicker than an ivy?</p>
