There will be billions of people doing good work. Many will always be overlooked. So your problem is people from average schools not getting fame ? On average it's the top tier schools that produce top level prize winning / field defining people. Compare the number of those people from NCSU vs an Harvard or an MIT.

We are thought of as inferior individuals, as you've described several times on HN. I'm honestly sick of it - America was made for everyone, not just the folks judged to be the best in a nebulous definition of "merit".
- mav3rick 7y agoHow are you not valued ? You yourself said you get 145k TC, is that not valued ? What have you done to deserve to be on the NYTimes or other papers. If you want more accomplishments and recognition then work harder instead of complaining.
- akhilcacharya 7y agoValued by my employer yes, by society apparently no. Besides you did say yourself that it wasn’t impressive and was low. I’ve worked plenty hard in my life and compared to the average top school grad I haven’t achieved much according to the folks on HN.
- mav3rick 7y agoYou seem to have a huge chip on your shoulder. Also, HN is not what you should measure your life against IMO.
