I think a better, cheaper path to wealth is to get your kid golf and tennis lessons, and maybe some sailing lessons.

Golf plus fraternity plus a B minus average at any college is a good start.

Don’t forget horseback riding.

Horseback riding is not needed.

I've worked at five different fortune 500 companies in the past 15 years and almost all of them played golf.  The current CEO, CFO and COO are members of Riverbend CC.  They all went to state universities and have a lot Ivies grads report to them.  If you are a good golfer, you will get invited to play and your career will take off from there.

And then people wonder why they need Diversity and Inclusion trainings to be more fair in hiring.

Well, there are plenty POCs who are also good golfers. They have just as good opportunities like any other athletes.

What's more interesting is the colleges that can take low income students and propel them into higher brackets. Here's that list.

Top performers on social mobility, per US News:
- Keiser University
- UC-Riverside
- CSU-Long Beach
- Florida International University
- UC-Merced
- University of LaVerne
- CSU Fullerton
- Oakland City University
- Rutgers University Newark
- UC Irvine
- UIC Chicao
- CUNY City College
- CSU San Bernadino
- Russell Sage College
- San Francisco State
- UC Santa Barbara
- Chatham University
- UC Santa Cruz
- UNC Greensboro

Not a single top 50 college on the list until all the way down to number 46, which is UCLA. University of Florida is #75. UC Berkeley #105.

Elite private schools? No where to be found until you scroll reaaaally far down. NYU is #140. Princeton is #186.

I know a couple that did not make that list, and from what I know, disqualifies that list in my mind.

Now this is actually interesting.

What does this mean ? (Serious as I have no clue as to what you are trying to communicate in this post.)

DP: That they are not controlling for parental wealth in the study.

DP, this. The study counts a kid with a trust fund as a positive outcome.

+1 gosh, a rich kid went to a rich college and is still rich. Must be the college that made him rich. Stupid.

Right? I’d be more curious about outcomes for middle-class or poor kids… Rich kids are likely to stay rich even if they go to a state school. Getting access to your trust has nothing to do with the college you went to.
