[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The joke's on them: they ended up at the same place as you.[/quote]

Went to an event recently for graduates of Ivy League schools and Ivy+ universities sponsored by an investment banking firm in an area outside of the DMV.

Many with Ivy degrees were not financially successful (such as a couple of 40+ year old social workers with degrees from Brown and several others in different career fields from various Ivy League schools).

Several individuals--also well above age 40--in law, medicine,and investment banking/finance appeared to be financially successful, but the attorneys with Harvard degrees were insufferable/snobby. Typical surgeons--sport coat, blue jeans, huge ego, and an expensive sports car (Porsche), but nice personalities.

The young crowd--in their early 30s--all seemed to be single, struggling & a bit unsure of themselves, although all in professions which require graduate degrees/extended study (law, medicine,architecture).

OP: Outside of Biglaw and investment banking on the east coast, it really doesn't matter where you went to college--especially if you ended up in the same place with fellow co-workers with degrees from elite schools.[/quote]
