[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes. I truly hope this is a fake. My definition of snobby: Leading with where you went to college and, worse yet, judging others by where they went (second tier, oh no!!!)

I have lived here more than 20 years, and if you are old enough (sadly, I am), your friends will end up accomplishing amazing things. But I can honestly say that I barely know where most of my closest friends went to college (even when they went to H or Y or P or S...I added S because you missed the West Coast...East Coast snobbery to boot!). And I certainly have no clue where they went to high school.

OP here. We never tell people where we went to school. In the Northeast, people were usually judged on their own accomplishments. We have friends who come from real money (10 figure wealth) who are achievers. DC natives feel like they are snobby because there is such a large poor population. They grew up entitled and keep the same attitude. [/quote]

OP, you are asking the wrong people. This board is full of people like the people who you label "snobs."

Your assessment that your household income and university pedigree tops theirs, if there is a comparison to be made, is not wrong. On the other hand, why play that game?

The choice that I have made for my kids (although my HHI is much less than yours) is to get them into a really good public school system. I want them to meet a lot of diverse people from diverse backgrounds and diverse SES.  I think that will serve them better than prep school. [/quote]
