除非要做大法官这种，美国绝大多数工作，州立大学足够用。 找工作，升职，都不会因为州立大学受影响。
Wow, what a list.

天啊，娃考个大学，我们当家长的还要参与到这个地步，那网站我看了跟天书一样，这得花多少心思才能当家长。 真的孩子考个大学家长得花这么多心思琢磨升学密集、自己弄得跟ao一样专业吗？这种家长我打赌平时学习肯定也是盯的，还有课外活动。这还活得下去吗。
自己娃的EC，哪些成就有多大影响，家长一般心里有数吧？其他娃的EC成就有多高，这个自然没必要了解。想了解的也就是个八卦的目的而已。
所以要不想参与，当然可以不参与。要想参与，只要了解自己娃的具体情况就够了，这些额外的东西帮助不大。
