Wow thank you all for your kind words, I really do appreciate it.
Mach G I totally hear you, the only thing constant in the world is change. I have read Who moved my Cheese, its a great book and had I known 10 years ago what I know now, I would be way ahead, but that book definitely reminds you to go back to the basics. About 2nd tier schools, I feel like I worked so hard to get into this particular school, and if you look at most of the Greats, they all went to first tier, whether they dropped out or not. The Us judges you based on what education you have. Plus, there is a little thing called Legacy admissions that I would love to give to my children, their chances of getting in would be amplified by roughly 50% just due to the fact that I am an Alumni. Plus networking, anyone in Business knows the importance of networking. Even for US citizens, they cant afford to just pay for Harvard out of pocket, at some point they have to live outside their means, coz they know the investment return that a Harvard degree will bring is priceless, what say you? So what choices did you make? Did you opt out of the Ivy league?
Mwanafunzi, Kiterunner and Wavidani, thanks for the insight. I am just being strategic, Kiterunner I am looking at the opportunity costs of getting a State degree, thats $30k that I could invest and quadruple. I already know most of the material that they would teach me, once again my thinking is a State will not provide me with any meaningful networking.
The Deal and Cde, do you guys mind sharing what you did instead of going to University in South Africa?? Did you opt to get your education in Kenya instead, opt to not get one, lets use this as a learning opportunity.
