^^^ LOL @ Squeezer preaching about assigning connotations to words. He understands why I am laughing at him. Hell he even stole my line.
Anyways Para, I would have to say you're being judgmental and wrong if you actually believe a lot of what you are saying up above. Sure, if you go to Yale, Harvard, or Stanford type schools you are open to a lot more opportunity from a networking standpoint, but that does not necessitate a better education. Nor does that education necessarily translate any better to a real life job or scenario. I happen to know the accountant in Seattle with the largest clientele base in the city, who makes 6 almost 7 figures now. His brother went to high school with me. He graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in English (hey squeeze...hint hint?).
Here's a piece of advice that I got from the Dean of my college day 1: Get rid of your preconceptions right now. What will happen to you and happens to most people is that they walk into an educational situation with a bunch of preconceived notions. When you have these you close yourself off to the entirety of learning. As soon as someone begins to fully believe that they are right, that is when they stop learning. If you aren't open, you will learn what you want to learn and meet the people that you want to meet, and walk away from college with a narrow mind and a narrow worldview (perfect for politics).
Disclaimer: This likely sounds judgmental, but was not intended to. I was in a poor mood.
