Education

The colleges where the American dream is still alive

As the Fall semester gets into full swing on college campuses throughout the region, current seniors are beginning to think about graduation and the job that will carry them forward into a lucrative career. However, in today’s economy, everyone believes there is no guarantee that scenario will play out.

For low-income students, the challenges are sometimes greater. They may be going to a school where there are no direct networks amongst the student body that will take them into those high-paying careers. Everyone else at their school is just like them. They don’t come from high-income families with a history of elite schooling where the networks and connections are standard.

However, according to this video report from Vox, all is not lost for those low-income students. The assumption that your everyday school is not a ladder up to success may be a wrong-headed view. Attendance at an elite college is no guarantee of upward mobility. Those low-income students may still find a path up with the right non-elite school.

These schools are much better than Harvard, Yale, or Princeton at making poor kids rich.
