I don’t know if this is actually good advice. I’ve worked for a company that only recruited out of a few schools in the state (Colorado) and didn’t pursue applicants from community colleges and places like University of Phoenix.
So my personal experience says that while you might not wanna break the bank going to an Ivy League school, it still helps to go to something like a state school.
Yes some companies gatekeep based on college, but A there aren’t many of them, and B they often only do that for fresh grads. It’s not worth worrying about those places when they will happily hire you in 3-5 years anyway, and you likely are going to leave again in another 3-5 years.
University of Phoenix is a step up from ITT tech level scams. It’s not really the same league as as the 13/15 state universities you haven’t heard of in my state (Michigan), and probably 10 or so of the private schools.
You also generally can’t get a bachelor’s degree at a community college, so they really aren’t at the same level either. They aren’t a bad option to start with though.
