<p>Are people who go to ivies or similar level school superior than people who go to a mediocore school? Since they are usually very nice, smart, intelligent, motivated, and hardworking!</p>
<p>not necessarily... your starting another thread that is just going to cause conflict among people.</p>
<p>Huh, I suppose I created a revolution here on CC. All Hail State Universities!</p>
<p>well like practically everyone wants to go to ivies, and like everyone wants to be those kids who go to ivy league college, since they will lead a better life!</p>
<p>EXACTLY they most likely will, but that doesn't mean that to live a good life you have to go to an ivy!</p>
<p>also I like to use where people go to college as an indicator or how "superior" people are to one another!</p>
<p>where someone goes to college doesn't matter... someone can be as dumb as a rock but if they are nice then it is all good.</p>
<p>Saying that someone will "most likely lead a better life" is pretty much an unfounded generalization. You can go to an ivy league school, major in whatever, and then there may be no jobs open for you or that you're willing to accept or something like that. And, if you go to an ivy league, who do you think is going to pay off that tremendous debt you'll be in from the tuition? Not everyone's parents will shell out 40 grand a year for their education. Where you go to college is not an indication of anything. It just means you were smart enough to get in. It depends on what you do with your time there that really matters.</p>
<p>I'm sure, of course, that if you average the income of Ivy alumni and then average the income of alumni of a mediocre college, the Ivies would come out on top, but that does not mean the Ivy alumni are "superior". I personally think that you should not say anyone is superior to another person; just listen to our founding fathers--"all men are created equal". While I don't actually believe that, I think there is no measure of superiority and success. I mean, just because you don't go to an Ivy doesn't mean you can't be extremely successful--hey, Tom Hanks went to community college.</p>
<p>But it would be fair to say that people from Ivies will probably have more opportunities than people from a mediocre school. Still, life's what you make of it.</p>
<p>Oh Boy, here we go again......there's is a lot of dialogue on this very topic under another thread titled "What's the point of this...." which is exactly where this thread is going.</p>

<p>Ok...that makes it pretty obvious---let's not feed the troll any longer.</p>
