[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you’re missing, PP, is the number of people at those private schools with generational wealth and connections. You’re not necessarily going to achieve that level of wealth solely from going to those schools. You’d have to exclude people who benefit from generational wealth in order to isolate and measure the impact of going to those schools in future earnings.[/quote]

Both you and the other poster are missing the point. The point is even if what you say is true, the point is that the wealthy don't go to the state schools with the plebes. Don't you get it? That is precisely my point. But that is moot because you are wrong. Here is the data on the "generational wealth vs self made ratio for some of these schools

1 Harvard University Self made percentage is 78% 
2 University of Pennsylvania 72% 
3 Columbia University 75% 
4 New York University 72%
5 Stanford University 76% 
6 Massachusetts Institute of Technology 77% 
7 University of Chicago 82% 
8 Northwestern University 72% 
9 Yale University 74% 
10 Princeton University 75%

Most of these folks made their wealth by themselves. I know this runs counter to the leftist class warfare nonsense, but it is what it is[/quote]
