Question

Answer

I have never met anyone or heard of any  company that differentiates between the two. after a few years your experience and ability matter more than a degree.

Answer

People are very judgey. On job applications you’ll have private vs public and they’ll choose the person who went to the private just because it’s “better.” Private comes with its advantages but it’s just a waste because I know a lot of people went to such great big schools and amounted to things people in public schools did

Answer

it depends on your major and job aspirations. I think it would be a total waste of money to go to an ivy league school to get an education degree ( you would never be able to pay back the student loans on that salary). npr actually did a really good three or four past series on this looking at private vs public schools at all levels of education (elementary - college). I went to public high school, state undergrad, state grad school. I have under 10k in student loans and have been at my job for 9 years!

Answer

It really depends on the schools. There are plenty of top tier public schools and private schools, as well as plenty of lower tier public schools and private schools.

Answer

For medical professionals(Nurses and doctors)- GPA and the school you graduate from means Nothing to employers. Absolutely nothing.

Answer

I think the bigger part is getting through the door to whatever industry you want to be in. Once you have some work experience no one really cares where you went to school.

Answer

It depends on what you want to study and what your career goals are. I wouldn’t go to a university known for its liberal arts program if I wanted to be architect.
Degrees that are not as well respected are one from a non accredited universities or for profit schools such as university or Phoenix.

Answer

You’re going to get a job either way, most jobs just look for experience now a days. You got this 😊
