[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you know your parental connections are going to get your kids those first internships and jobs, and thus those top salaries, you get to pick what’s the best fit for your kids.[/quote]

This was probably intended to be snarky, but I actually think it’s true.  [/quote]

OP here, that’s what I was thinking too but the link shows that the “top” salaries don’t really go to Grinnell/Oberlin/Skidmore/SLAC grads. So that doesn’t really make sense. [/quote]

First, I didn’t mean it snarky at all. My kids go to a private K-12 and I know full well how the world really works for the privileged. Which is also the flaw in OP’s reasoning. There’s the DCUM set Grinnell kids, who already have their meal ticket when they show up on campus, and then there’s the local Midwestern Grinnell kids, who go on to make $25k a year as editor in chief of a local newspaper. The statistics aren’t telling you anything helpful here about the logic of the well-connected. [/quote]
