[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]as a former immigrant (went back to my home country because US is completely insane and in precipitous decline) I will note that this whole college as a brand charade is a very American thing. Americans will spend 99% of their time discussing college culture and brands, and is this particular school exactly as much elite as that one, and then they will spend 1% discussing majors. they will let their kids study garbage and feel they should not say anything about it despite burning through hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Filthy rich kids can study whatever they want. It's the MC and UMC tiger cubs who foolishly fall victim to this spoiled indulgence. The few striver kids we know who went to Harvard and Yale got caught up in the nonsense layabout vibe of the rich kids on campus and ended up in crummy careers making little money.[/quote]

+ 1  Too many naïve UMC kids don’t realize the family/business connections that the uber rich kids have. [/quote]
