Is it possible to 'hide' a degree?

I have been told by my college advisers, and I think it's true, that it doesn't matter where you go for undergrad if you can get into a "good" graduate school. .

Which is no doubt also who signs their paychecks.

Seriously, the "good enough" threads make me want to bang my head on the wall. What's good enough? Well, from a technical standpoint, it's the degree you need for your career. If your career requires a certain license, then your degree will need to meet the licensure requirements (which may mean certain accreditations, I'll use nutrition as an example - you can get nutrition degrees all day long, but if you want to hold a license or RD, the college needs AND Accreditation). If your (target) career is competitive (ex. medicine, physician assistant, dental) then you have to carefully plan accordingly.

If you don't have a career, and are just checking the box, then your degree needs to be (a) finished - no, seriously, you have to graduate (b) accredited - regional trumps national in every instance.

You'll get a lot of people without a degree telling you where to get yours. Ignore them.

Beyond that, you're just debating Coke vs Pepsi, and it's a completely useless argument.
