[quote][b]So why, exactly is Harvard and Yale the 'Best Schools?" I'd but some of my college professors up against theirs any day, and I went to a very good in-state University. The fact that the Supreme Court justices all went to those schools is more about status and money than actual education.[/b]
 
My father was managing partner in a very successful law firm before he retired. He went to an average university, and not even the top law schools in the country. He was the boss of all the Harvard/Yale grads. My sister was in GT when she was a child, I was not. She went to Vanderbelt, I chose the University of Tennessee. We are both in IT. I am in management in the company I work for, and she works on the help desk at hers.

Harvard and Yale are the "best schools" since you yourself (unconsciously) admit your dad went to an "average" school. Some schools are average, some are best. We are only taking your word. I doubt you would call Harvard and Yale "average" like the school your daddy attended. [/quote]

Going to the so called "Best Schools" is all about having the right credentials which do in fact matter in at least one of life's paths, being a career bureaurcrat. In this case, it seems to me about the only thing that does matter are your credentials (certainly not your talent or ability from what I can see...). Those so called "Best Schools" have produced the worst political class in the history of our country (both republicans and democrats) as well as an endless stream of preening, pretentious, (but entertaining) twits who start threads like this one on DCUM.
