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

Yeah, like that Stanford swimmer.

I think they “better people, all else equal.”

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.

Ok

Oh cmon, I think it’s a kid although I don’t know why they would be on a parents site.

One thing they got wrong is better schools have better students. That’s not the case for every student.

Well, better colleges require better grades and test scores.

Well, going to a good college requires a strong work ethic.
