[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sure this isn’t true of every “big 3” family but my nephews attended a school that is equivalent to those (but in a different city) and their parents are so wealthy & connected that they wouldn’t been fine without even attending college. I know they weren’t the wealthiest family at their school by any means. I’m not sure why wealthy parents don’t let their kids sidestep the rat race.[/quote]

Kids that like school and learning don't see it necessarily as a rat race.  Some of these geeks actually like the pursuit of knowledge.  [/quote]
No, it's more about the parent's bragging rights than anything else.

You think Trump's father would've been fine with Trump not going to college? He clearly thought it was important since he bribed their way in.[/quote]

There is only so much a patent can do.  If your kid is a nerd, so be it.  If they would rather be playing soccer, oh well.    If they want to scroll tik tok,. Good luck.[/quote]
