You are incorrect. I have hired hundreds of people immediately lifetime and I know dozens of others who have. D1 schools have a much better reputation than D2 schools. Salaries of D1 grads are much higher than those of D2 grads. These are not controversial things. You seem to live in a world where exceptions are the rule. But that is not true. Attending a D2 school will lower lifetime earnings. That is a provable fact. D2 schools are terrible.
