[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmmm, I think it does in terms of "life interestingness"[b] but not necessarily wealth. [/b]

Harvard couple I know -- one person founded their own non-profit, one is a acclaimed novelist. MIT couple -- founded a few tech companies (and now are millionaires). Another elite school couple (Naval Academy, which has similar standards) -- another founder of a company, another writer. Stanford friend -- furniture designer who has won awards. Columbia friend works for the NYTimes. Friend from Brown is another serial entrepreneur. Money varies, but all have a lot of freedom to do what they want, and No one has a boring job. [/quote]
All of that screams “trust fund gave me freedom.”

Thank you. X2. I was thinking "this has less to do with where they went to school and more to do with them having a family and backup wealth to become "furniture designers." Good Lord, correlation is just that. Clearly these posters didn't go to a top university themselves :) [/quote]

I'm in PP with that friend. Actually, he came from a middle class background. No family money supporting him as an adult. He has a side job that pays six figures (a kind of govt contractor) but only requires 20/week of his time, so he can use the rest of it to do what he wants.
