>It didn’t dawn on me that there might be a few holes in my education until I was about 35. I’d just bought a house, the pipes needed fixing, and the plumber was standing in my kitchen.

TL;DR: The purpose of ivy league schools seems to be to teach people the entitlements of being part of an elite class. With that comes a complete ignorance to the fact that there are smarter, more diligent people that don't get into elite universities. [cites the behavior of numerous Yale graduates]
