As someone who went to a big name school honestly, and then worked hard to get a degree that had great value both based on my own work and the good reputation of the school I am very resentful of people who abuse the system.

Their kids are spending vacations in Europe while dozens of serious students who see an education as a way to improve their life are working their hearts out to get even modestly ahead.

The dim bulb kids of these celebrities devalue the credentials of those who worked to get them.

It’s a valid point but sadly just the way of the world.

For example, did Dr. Dre’s kid really earn her spot in the hard to get into USC film school. Not likely.

Does O.J. loughlin or whatever her name is deserve to have her whole world blown up including her businesses because of her mother? If she knew, then yes.

She didnt care about getting a degree. She was using it to parlay her business trying to be the Next Kardashian

But hey, a billion bucks is a heck of an enticement to build a brand.

As they said in Grimm’s Fairy Tales (The Turnip):

“Rest there in peace, till thou art a wiser man than thou wert.”
