RE: All it is, is “the secret handshake” that opens some doors for you

Isn’t that worth the money though? After all, it’s often WHO you know. I suspect that a lot of the Ivy Leaguers get their initial positions because of their contacts in college.

I mean, imagine being the classmate of Dubya and being his drinking buddy at Yale....

Oh, some of the Ivies, yeah, I can see that. You get a plum internship at Siemans because your frat brother's dad is the CEO and he gets one at Kodak because you're dad is the CEO.

But if you're spending 40k a year on University of Virginia, you're not doing yourself any favors.
