[quote=Anonymous]Elite private schools do tend to have a strong network and interest in helping each other out professionally. I see that in action every recruiting cycle. It's yet another way that people who can't afford $40K/year tuition in high school and then likely more in college are shut out of the elite class over people who came from money. I grew up middle class and, though hard work, a good connection while I was in college, and just plain luck, moved my station up and get to listen to people talk about people who went to public school, and, god forbid, a PUBLIC UNIVERSITY like they're ignorant, backwoods morons. I mostly just bite my lip, but I know I make more than about half of them despite my "lackluster" education. I wouldn't be proud of that system. It promotes classism over merit. One of the principles in the consulting company I used to work for called it the "nepotism exchange program".[/quote]
