[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s kinda about money, but more about prestige. A quirky 22-year old Yale graduate who works in a bookstore gets a totally different response compared to the same employee who attended George Mason. Why? Because, you imagine that the Yale grad just loves books, is interesting/curious, probably soon going to a prestigious graduate school or writing a novel, and is carving an idiosyncratic, but exciting path. Unfortunately, you imagine that the GM student is working for money until they can find something better. They are a cog in the wheel of life hoping to find somewhere to fit. May not be true, but so it goes. [/quote] If I meet a Yale grad who works in a bookstore my reaction is, "you paid $350,000 for your degree so you could do this, lmao!"[/quote]
