I wish people could understand the difference between “being better” and “being better off” when it comes to prestige.

There’s no doubt that it’s better to go to a more prestigious college than a less prestigious one. Students at better colleges are more likely to get better jobs and build stronger connections.

But just because it’s better to go to a more prestigious college doesn’t mean that students at more prestigious colleges are better. I mean, they’re better students, just not better people.

I don’t fault employers for preferring to hire applicants from better colleges, but I wish the general public could understand the difference between opportunity and worth.

Why is this post relevant?

I understand what you are saying. Sure, students at Ivy League schools many are sociopaths and type A. They attract those students. So what? How does that affect your life?

Don't waste your effort trying to persuade people who only follow the crowd and never decide what they truly want.

That’s not what I meant. All I meant was that they have brighter futures ahead of them.

No, they are better people. That’s why they get what they deserve.

I concur. The original post is a logical headache. It wouldn't be clear where to begin with it.
