Agreed on the Ivy League part. I work with a guy that went to Princeton. I went to a public University in Florida.

Sure he learned a lot more and had to do a thesis for his undergrad, but we have the same job now.

He has no more leverage than me when it comes to that.

And when that guy’s roommate strikes it big, who gets the call to join the rocketship?

Steve Ballmer was Bill Gates’ roommate. You are getting free networking lottery tickets with high achievers at an Ivy.
