Oh dear.  It's becomeIvy vs. non-Ivy like SAHM vs WOHM.

I'm pretty sure the divorce rate amongst ivy leaguers is pretty much the same as the general public.  I don't think they have "true keepers" anymore than non-ivy leaguers do.

Do you REALLY think that everyone is jealous of those that went to Ivies?  Um..no.  You made a generalization, just like the rest of us did.  It's not the school itself that makes the person unlikable, it's the general attitude that if you were educated anywhere else than an Ivy, your education was sub-par, or the attitude of "I'm superior to you".  That makes you snobby.  Honestly, that is the way most Ivy grads think, even if it is subconsciously.

It's the stupidity of some of the Ivy bashing that makes people think it's motivated by jealousy. For example, it's just dumb to say that all Ivy grads are snobby.

At some sub-conscious level you know that you're posting stupid BS. But, some emotion makes you keep doing it.  When we see a cognitive disconnect like this, then the cause is likely to be some emotion -- like jealousy.

That, or give us a better reason why your claims seem so stupid. [/quote]
