[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the problem is that you are young and your world view is small. This happens to all of us. We tend to compare ourselves with those we know- our friends, our neighbors, our coworkers.[b] If you get out of your circle and travel the country or the world or even just read a lot about how others live you will not feel this any longer.[/b] You will realize this as you get older too. Once you get past that first job and have worked for different places you realize no one cares or asks where you went to college.[/quote]This is great advice. I moved into a neighborhood where many of my neighbors are janitors and security guards. You realize that people who work hard and care for their families deserve respect regardless of whether they went to a top college or not -- or even went to college at all.[/quote]

+1  I work at a non-profit and we serve lots of low-wage and even homeless people.  You come to understand and appreciate all people no matter their situation.  Oh, and some of the most compassionate people we have on staff are Ivy and Ivy Law.   I've never ever heard one of them ever  mention the name of the school they went to.  Not every Ivy grad is a privileged D-bag, sometimes they are truly just great people. [/quote]

-!  PP you've gone to the other extreme.  No one is claiming that ALL Ivies are a problem or "bad" etc.  Its just a few select jerks.  Please don't paint the picture that everyone is bad. [/quote]
