[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting discussion. I was accepted into two Ivy League schools plus MIT as an undergraduate focused on physics. Ended up going to Georgia Tech because I went to HS in Georgia and with the HOPE scholarship I paid virtually nothing (and would've been full pay at the other schools). Now I have Ivy Leaguers working for me.

Once again reaffirms that the Ivy League obsession is BS. It's less about the school you go to and more about working hard and taking advantages of opportunities to gain experience and exposure to the right people in your field.[/quote]

Who'd you marry? Who do you associate with? It's not all about the money -- most folks in the middle class remain in the middle class.[/quote]
You always bring up marriage...but marrying someone from undergrad sounds pretty prole-ish, to be honest. Very few of my Ivy League undergrad classmates married each other..,[/quote]

Have you read the Sunday NYT Weddings section recently? Studies have shown that statistically, it is becoming rarer to marry someone of another socioeconomic class. Most marriages of UMC/UC children are happening between people who met at elite undergrad or grad/prof schools, if they were not already connected through their families.[/quote]
And? Who even thinks about this stuff?[/quote]

True. Who reads the NYT wedding section. It is just a brag page for people who feel they are "elite".[/quote]
