That’s a lie. If you want a high powered career in law, finance, government, academia or journalism, you better go to an Ivy or a handful of other elite schools. Only Harvard, Yale and Princeton are at the top echelon. Not having a degree from one of those three schools places one at a massive handicap for elite career tracks.
There’s some truth to what you say. Those elite schools offer a huge advantage, despite the deficiencies in what they actually teach. Still, those people can be beaten. The world is still what we make it. For now. Sort of. Less so every day in the West. Ugh.
“Only Harvard, Yale and Princeton are at the top echelon. Not having a degree from one of those three schools places one at a massive handicap for elite career tracks.”
For proof, look at the U.S. Supreme Court.
