So, if you want to go for like pre-med, pre-law, business, or something else that is an extremely competitive field, then go to the best school you can, but if you want to teach or something, don't.

This is exactly what I was getting at....I am a teacher too and it is just foolish to pay a ton of money for a degree...as long as you attend a decent school and do well you'll have the sam job opportunites and pay.
That is not true of all, so it really depends what you're going for. Also, some schools are better for different majors etc.
The advice that asked how dedicated you were is right on target...Unless you're ready to put 100% in day one and get out in 4 years (not 6!) skip any high priced school until you're ready...no disrespect...just something to consider.
