[quote=Anonymous]Curious about these network effects you think will boost you into a new social class? I was a poor white kid heading to an Ivy; I didn’t hang out with the super rich kids who spent every weekend on some expensive getaway, or even eating at restaurants, and school nights drinking. I didn’t even have cash to go to a coffee shop or things like that. I was working late in labs and working 15 hrs for work study job. They majored in history or literature and often had already read the material while at elite high schools, so had a lot more leisure time. I can see if you are a strong player on a sports team, and networking there, or a hot girl, you can mingle with the upper class, but they weren’t going to be besties with me because I helped them with their laptop! They stuck to their own circles mostly, and circumstances reinforced that. [/quote]
