[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. If you are rich enough that you really don't care about 100k+ your year, then you are set for life anyway and should go somewhere fun and interesting rather than hanging out with STEMbots and DCUM try-hards and strivers.

If paying the 100k makes you wince or strains the family budget a bit, then you are merely a sucker for paying an inflated price while all the lower-middle class and FGLI kids go for free.

TL;DR: Paying full price at an Ivy isn't worth it, because it means you are either too rich to derive any benefit from attending an Ivy, or you are a sucker getting taken advantage of by wealthy institutions who want you to pay for someone else's kid.[/quote]

What a weird thing to say.  I am rich enough (i.e., I saved like crazy since my kids were born) that I can easily pay 100k+ per year per kid.  So yes, I am "set for life" as long as I keep working for at least 15 years to fund my retirement.

My kids are not "set for life" - their summer jobs pay minimum wage and they have no careers to speak of.  So absolutely they should hang out with and hopefully become "STEMbots and DCUM try-hards and strivers."

Sorry to tell you that being called a striver is not an insult.  Being ambitious and making your way up to the top of your field is what funds a fun and interesting life.[/quote]
