[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point is that not hating your life, having money to experience the world, and being able to take care of yourself until your death are pretty key points in having a worthy existence. The hoop jumping of high school and college are building blocks to those goals. Now...the push to be super duper elite, whatever that is, is a different question, and one that I wouldn't know how to answer because I have no such desire. [/quote] +1 I would add, having knowledge to experience the world. Going abroad and knowing the history of the places you visit, knowing something about music, dance literature, science. It makes for a rich experience of the world.[/quote] Talk about a false dichotomy. You don't have to go to an elite school for ANY of that. Not even close.[/quote] Agree. That is why I agreed "+1" with the PP, including her last line.[/quote]
