I guess I'm just speaking for myself here, but it's depressing that according to many folks in this thread my life path was essentially decided for me by the time I was 18. That being said this is far from the first time I've heard this argument, and largely a reason I decided to get into entrepreneurship. I didn't have the pedigree, my parents went to an even worse state school than I did, and my family largely had no industry connections. If I'm going to jump classes I'll have to do it of largely my own merit. Luckily the public at large doesn't care if a Harvard grad or a state school grad built the company/product they love.
