[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to an Ivy and loved it but I have always been surprised that people want their kids to go to Ivies to connect with rich people. At my Ivy (Brown) the boarding school/NYC private school uber rich mainly hung out with each other. I love my college friends but they and their connections did not help me get jobs. Nor did my parents help them get jobs. None of our parents were in a position to do that and now we all have such different careers that our professional networks do not overlap at all.[/quote] And it’s even worse now. There’s no cross pollination because all of the rich incoming freshmen link with each other on social media, often long before stepping foot on campus. Everyone sizes each other up very quickly with a 60 second glance of instagram.[/quote]
