[quote=Anonymous]My high school BFF went to Columbia, I went to Big State U. We talked a lot freshman year, and then it kind of tapered off as she got subconsciously aware of her "privilege" and new world. I stayed calm and didn't let it get to me. At graduation, I went on to a top-ten (non-Ivy) law school and now am at an awesome firm making six figures. She went straight into a small consulting firm - not even management consulting - where she earns less than 70k. She has quietly come down off her high horse and we are genuinely friendly again. The moral of the story is that my friend learned that [u]it does not matter[/u]. Columbia did not guarantee her Mckinsey or BCG, even though she graduated with honors. My state university did not shut the doors to the admittedly dubious honor of Biglaw in a major city. Now even really insecure people wouldn't ever say anything about my undergraduate credentials because they [i]know[/i] they would look like idiots.[/quote]
