[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not recent, but when I did my internship at the White House in the late 90s, the people in the office where I worked told me they had been wary of any students from T25-ish schools. I was attending one of those and the employees were nervous about putting me in that office because a lot of students from elite schools felt the grunt work in that office was beneath them (this was based on their prior experiences). They were pleased that they decided to "take the chance" with me because I was happy to do whatever tasks were asked of me.

I know this isn't completely on topic, but just throwing it out there as food for thought....[/quote]

Corny and fake trope. Kids from elite schools are rich, lazy and entitled; state school proles are so charming and disciplined, with great work ethic. Not afraid to get their hands dirty and put on the extra hours! Womp, womp. :roll: [/quote]

I assure you that I am not making this up. I was surprised that they shared this info with me. The office I worked in mostly processed letters and answered phones. I don't think lazy was the issue, although probably entitled? Anyway, you can think I am a troll or making this up all you want. I have no reason to lie.[/quote]
