[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn't just California, people.  I'd venture to say that maybe 4/5 of the country doesn't even realize there is this freakish obsession with ivy league education on the east coast (or, to be more accurate, the New York-Philadelphia-Washington corridor).  I was a top notch student in another part of the country and it never even crossed my mind that I should be applying to the ivies.  I didn't even know what they were, beyond some vague understanding that Harvard was a place for geniuses.  The same educational obsession seems to continue into securing the right career path, working for the right investment banking or law firm, and so on.  [b]Life everywhere else is so much different.  It seems to me that a lot of people who were born and raised and remain in this bubble have no idea.  It can be so much simpler.[/b][/quote]

This is absolutely true, but realize that the people in the bubble you describe wind up running the country. I don't know if that makes them any happier, but it's what happens.[/quote]
