Okay, boomer. Once again you miss the point. The point is that boomers could go to an elite university and pay for it by working their way through if they chose to do so. Not that it’s necessary to go to an elite school to succeed but that even elite schools were open to those willing to work for it in those days. Nowadays they aren’t solely because of policies put in place, often by boomer politicians.
Swing, and a miss, snowflake. Not a boomer. “Elite” college never was an option here, either.
You seem to have sand in your panties for not being able to go to Yale, and that’s because you think Yale would have given you something special. The point is that you’ve been brainwashed to think there’s a benefit to an “elite education. There isn’t one.
You’re whining you can’t have something that has no significant value to begin with.
The brainwashing is from the boomer generation’s experience that degrees were necessary for success, and THAT is no longer true. Higher education can not stand any critical scrutiny of return on investment. JFC, you need a MASTERS to be a social worker for the state to make $45K a year. You can make that flipping burgers.
