[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is hilarious 
If you already have generational wealth, why the need for so much networking? Serious question.  
Are you looking for friends? Spouse? Something else?[/quote]

[i]I guess that is why you don't have generational wealth?[b] I find these questions/comments so telling. People without generational wealth like to say rich families aren't stressed about what school their kids go to, that's it's a "striver thing." It is very MC to look at college as ROI and transactional (e.g. going to meet a spouse or networking).

Generational wealth has always wanted certain schools. Wealthy people place a high value on education. This is the number one reason. But let's be honest, it is also to "keep up appearances." A lot of schools are unimpressive to their wealthy friends. Networking and finding a spouse are not part of the equation. That is for the less wealthy people to do at the college. Generational wealth already have a ton of contacts from their grandparents, parents, country club, summer home, and the list goes on. This is why things were rigged against minorities and MC for so long. Big law, finance, banking... all bastions of nepotism.[/quote]

It’s obvious that you don’t either, based on this response. [/quote]

We do have generational wealth and are from New England. I’m guessing you don’t have this kind of wealth because what I said  isn’t rocket science or lies. It is just simply the truth. But maybe you have a couple million dollars (think you are rich) and are from a gauche southern family.[/quote]
