There are quite a few Harvard graduates here on FR. Are you sure the only alumni you would show respect are poor whites and Asians?
I can respect any person as an individual. But a harvard degree on its own is not worth anything to me. In fact, I see it as a negative for new grads.
I see it practically every week at my firm. Rich kids with Ivy degrees and fancy suits come in to interview and can’t fill out a damn employment application (my first test). While expecting their lofty “credentials” to give them higher starting pay on day 1 than those with years of real-world experience. OR you get the “diversity” grads that can barely add 2+2 and assume they are the best.
No thanks. That level of ego and entitlement has no place on a team. The best new engineers I had were all top kids from the cheapest public schools.
