This is like saying I'd rather be a happy peasant than a miserable king; I'd rather be a happy pig than a mad genius like Van Gogh, or Newton.

Sounds romantic - but no. [/quote]

Congrats, you win for dumbest analogy of the day.[/quote]

PP should explain why it's the dumbest analogy. Otherwise, s/he is talking nonsense. [/quote]

DP here,

Because the difference between UMD graduate and Harvard graduate is tiny, and nothing like the difference between a king and a peasant or between a pig and a human genius.  [/quote]

Lol.  That's like saying the difference between a DC government peasant and a king is tiny. Get real. [/quote]

UMD CS >> Harvard English[/quote]

OP here. FWIW I agree with you and regardless of if my kid gets into an elite school, I would hope that they major in STEM or Econ. [/quote]
