[quote=Anonymous]I never understood why someone would pay an ungodly amount of money to go to an "elite" to get the same degree I could get at my local college. Once we got our degrees, we were all equal, right? Fast forward a few years, I did some cool things, and I find myself in Silicon Valley working on cutting-edge tech. Stanford is just across the street. When I first got here, I still didn't understand why kids were silly enough to pay to go to one of these fancy schools. Now I do. When a kid gets into Stanford or Harvard, they are plugged into a network of power that they will have for the rest of their lives. Getting a job will always be easier. Starting your dream company with millions in the bank on day one becomes possible. Moving up the chain at the local monoliths becomes a heck of a lot easier when you can rub shoulders with the higher ups at local Ivy League networking events.[/quote]
