People who graduate from a first rate (prestigious) school gain access
to a vast network of peer acquaintances and referrals however. That
can be priceless.


It's called "pay to play".. it keeps the riff-raff on the outside. On
the whole it's great for those who can afford it, but probably not so
great for society in general as it keeps a lot of the creme from rising
to the top...


The vast majority of college grads did not attend Ivy League schools. If
you plan to be a lawyer, doctor or politician I guess it's important but
to the average work-a-bee the school you attended doesn't mean as much
as the fact that you have a relevant degree.

I was answering the post above me which was in reference to "first rate
(prestigious) school"... try to keep up, instead of just looking to
contradict me personally.



Scott, my comment was a general one in response to the discussion of
schools and education. It was directed at no one. Your paranoia and
feelings of persecution are flaring up again.

Paranoia? No, just trying to keep some continuity in the thread...
