I witnessed this firsthand getting a B.S. at a state school and a Masters at an Ivy. The Ivy kids were differentiated more by their sheep/robot like work ethic and dedication. Naturally the far majority of them pursued careers in investment banking and management consulting, careers that are essentially an extension of this hoop jumping. I've decided that I'm not going to raise my kids in the U.S. This absurd hoop jumping isn't the optimum way to raise a successful kid, and it sure as hell doesn't create happy childhoods.
