The answer is that you are both right. The institution certainly does not define your success later
in life.
Here's what does: reading, writing, and communication skills, personality, hard work,
and most important of all, your resilience in the face of failure.
For certain professional paths, the social capital you have acquired is important too.
It not about the school- it's all about the values- if you value honesty, teamwork, hard work, and giving back, you are
well on your way to a solid future, regardless of where you went to college. And if you look at college outcomes, that's
not opinion, it's fact.
