[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Education is one of the new status symbols. Newer generations are less materialistic but not less status-seeking. [/quote]

It’s not a symbol. Higher education actually DOES carry higher status.[/quote]

Ugh. What do you mean, it’s not a symbol? Status is a symbol, it’s not reflecting an objective, tangible thing that you can grasp. It’s something that humans came up with, and therefore is symbolic. We choose things like money, beauty, education as symbols of status, but we could easily have chosen other things. My point is, you say that higher education carries higher status, as if that is some fact of nature. It doesn’t carry higher status any more than any other thing.

Uhm it actually does. A harvard or Stanford educated person is considered an elite in this country. [/quote]

LOL this isn't true.[/quote]

I’d rather know your major(s) than your Uni. Oh, and what you’re doing fulltime, if anything. [/quote]

Okay let put it this way. A Harvard educated hedge fund managing director living in Connecticut with a country club membership has more social cache than the plumber owning ten businesses and making a few million. Its not about money. Its also about class. That managing director can mingle comfortably in circles the plumber business owner wont. And probably have connections to all that plummy internships for their kids. Sorry to all those women who married "intelligent" men who are all that, but you married a guy in a different class. Too bad. The lady doth protest too much.[/quote]

Funny you think Harvard generates hedge fund or even i bankers nowadays. Time to crawl out from under your rock and read the last 20 years of alumni news.[/quote]
