[quote=Anonymous]We like to say it’s a lottery, but it’s not completely, and the difference matters. Kids who go to elite schools are pretty smart and ambitious, which typically yields great results. Of course, someone with the same qualities can go to community college and also succeed, but they do so against the odds. It’s a lot easier to succeed when everyone around you is pushing you to be your best self, when the best employers want you to work for them, and the best graduate programs are happy to have you. Sure, anyone can own 10 pizza joints, but many don’t want that type of success. It is what it is. [/quote]
