I used to think this is true. Moving to SFBA has disabused me of any notion that expensive college is about the education. Seeing the network that Stanford kids have access to is wild.
Me: "Oh hey this company just raised <lots of money>". Friend: "Oh yeah I know Joe, he's great, his best friend was my room-mate in college. We've already been talking for a few months about hiring them as a vendor at our company. Happy to see they finally announced the raise I heard about last year"
