Can they both live in Southern California?

Then they can both graduate from a very prestigious university. Almost no one can get into those, you know.

Any degree one gets is worthless until one graduates from the School of Hard Knocks. While your comment is meant as a put-down, we live in an age where exactly what you suggest can happen. Competence is no longer a factor, checking all the "woke" boxes is all universities care about these days. I offered to facilitate my oldest son getting a degree in Mexico, Tecnológico de Monterrey to be exact. I don't trust USA universities. He decided that certifications are a better option. Time and effort spent on a degree is better spent becoming a noteworthy GitHub contributor. Being strong on GitHub will get you to a six-figure income way faster than a college degree ever could. A strong GitHub presence paired with being certified as a Kubernetes Application Developer is a powerhouse. Check pay rates for a Microservices Architect to get an idea.
