[quote=Anonymous]This has to be a troll Being a DCUMer means personally knowing and working with people who weren’t very especially bright who went to Brown and Duke but are from extremely wealthy backgrounds who did “fine” in their careers. My smartest coworkers went to U. South Carolina and another went to a regional fine art school. We don’t work in art, by the way. They are smart and self-directed in a way that can’t be trained, practiced, or bought. Smart people live the lives of smart people, rich people live the lives of rich people, and sometimes being smart and rich intersects. Oh, and lol to the poster who said only a select percentage of D1 football and basketball players have career paths in front of them. On the contrary. People like to hire the star of the nowhere-ville D3 tennis team, just like how people like to hire Marines — the background conveys discipline and fair or not, their is a bias in favor of the physically fit.
