[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t like the sheep part either, but I think what the author was implying was more that many of these students just achieve because it is what is expected and it gets them rewards. So they keep just reaching for the next ring. It isn’t necessarily because they actually love any of it.[b] They just do it. And sure, the elite schools might get them networks and access to well paying jobs, but do they actually WANT to be investment bankers or consultants, etc etc? Is that what they love? Is it what truly motivates them?[/b][/quote]

You are delusional. 99% of people won't be able to do what they love for a living or chase what truly motivates them in their careers. HYPS alumni are not exempt from this. I can't blame any 22 year-old who decides to become a "sheep" and go into a lucrative job in tech or finance after graduation. [/quote]

99% is an big overestimate if you're talking about people with a college degree. Pretty much everyone I know with a degree is working in the field they studied and is happy with their work.[/quote]

The vast majority of people with college degrees do not "do what they love for a living" or pursue what "truly motivates them." [/quote]

Exactly. There's nothing wrong with being a sheep. I bet the people complaining about "sheeple" students are wealthy white people who have trust funds. [/quote]
