[quote=Anonymous]It’s complicated. My cousin graduated from an Ivy League school, the only one in our generation in the family. Everyone else went to state schools, then grad schools and is now in white collar occupations. She, however, is running a business, the essence of which is that she buys certain things and she sells certain things, very blue collar type. Theoretically, she wouldn’t need any college degree, let alone one from an Ivy, to do that. However, I suspect that the smarts and the work ethic that brought her to an Ivy are the same smarts and the work ethic that allowed her to build the business that pays for a nice house, private schools for the kids, etc. She employs her husband in her business too.
