Why do people insist that their kid can always "go to an Ivy for grad school?"

The bolded is a dying profession so don’t bother with that. Don’t bother with non-T14 law on scholarship, either.

Okay let's think about this for a moment... if becoming a professor is a dying profession.. (a profession that usually requires a PhD, and some in Humanities)... WHO will be teaching your children at the Super Top schools that DCUMdom is obsessing over?

ChatGPT? Investment Bankers who graduated from Ivies.. or the ones who struck it so rich in Wall Street in their first 3 years that they can enjoy the "leisurely" schedule of a professor?

There is MASSIVE PhD overproduction. “Someone” will be teaching at universities - the few who went to elite doctoral programs - and everyone else will get shut out. Getting lengthy training for a 10% chance to get a job is… very unwise.
