[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The “surprises” being UT, Boston U & U Miami? At least for UM, they started wealthy. [/quote]

But, for the right students, UM has pretty good academics and is spectacular for helping students perfect golfing, tennis, boating, football appreciation and people skills.

If you want a wealthy kid, a so so bachelor’s degree plus a good golf game, an attractive face, a pleasing disposition and the ability to navigate a fraternity party beat the hell out of having a National Merit scholarship and a law degree without the good golf game and the ability to navigate the fraternity party.

One thing that’s shocking to me about this forum is the parents who are obsessed with education ROI but who apparently haven’t taught their kids to play golf or tennis, or to sail, and who haven’t thought at all about rush. If your kids can’t play golf, sail or play tennis, and they aren’t social enough to handle a fraternity party, you’ve pretty much slammed the door on them becoming truly wealthy through any route other than a dot-com miracle.

This is 10000% complete and utter bollocks. You sound like a geriatric who has no idea how the world works.[/quote]
