[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find this with a coterie of folks who are in government/non profit/writers, etc. They attended elite schools and cleave onto this as one of their key identifiers. I'm not talking school spirit, but dropping it a fair amount and distinguishing folks based on where they attended school. They are absolutely bonkers now about their kids attending same. And ones who attended school as full pay but are in jobs now that can't afford that really go off on how unfair it is. "Why should someone get that advantage?"

Of course, none of them were working for more equitable financial aid back in the day. [/quote]

Not talking about those who attended state schools, but "elite" ones. I don't work in agency. This is based on my network of acquaintances/friends/professional relations. So of course, this is an anecdote, though will say DH, who attended one of these schools, is more aware of this behavior after I pointed it out to him.[/quote]
