This obsession (disease) with brands seems to be accelerating in the USA, not only in terms of college but in terms of acceptable professions, acceptable companies to work for (FAANG?), acceptable startup startup accelerators, perhaps it is an inevitability of a winner take all society. How can the richest country in the history of earth produce a mindset of scarcity in it's people, i think this is a failure of the economic/political system that needs to be corrected. I originally come from a country where they decide a persons future based on a test they take before they are 18, let me tell you that this society has not produced anything noteworthy in thousands of years. When you create conditions in a society where everyone must fit a mold, you essentially erase a large part of happiness and creativity that exists in a people.
