How should I narrow down my college list?

Hello to everyone reading this! I'm a junior in high school, and I have over 30 colleges on my list; however, I'm not sure how many safeties, reaches, targets, and so on I should include. Is there a specific number/range for each type of school I should consider? Thank you for your time!

Guys, If I want to get a good job for engineering right after College do I need to go to a big known school?

Currently in 12th and I'm looking through schools but the big programs are incredibly competitive and I don't know if I'm cut out compared to others applying. I'd like to apply to state schools but I've heard bigger schools give you a better chance of getting a job right after.
