<p>Or, you could be like me and H - we incurred no debt to go to prestigious schools (because we were fortunate enough to come from full pay families), we are more than delighted to be full pay for our kids wherever they go, we’re very pleased with the experience at our own prestigious school and believe that it opens some doors that are otherwise less accessible, but don’t believe it’s the deal-breaker for life that it gets pitched as on CC and that ultimately, the cream rises to the top anyway.</p>
<p>And if financial success is pitched as the measure of success, good grief, it takes no imagination whatsoever to look around and see tons of very successful people with average-tier educations. And by very successful, I’m not just talking standard upper middle class - I’m talking several multi million dollar homes, first class vacations, significant donations to charity, etc. There’s just a lot of money out there and I find it really naive to assume it’s all going just to the elite school gang when I can see differently.</p>
