- laidoffamazon 3y agoUnless I'm missing something obvious Dale & Kruger says people that get into top schools get the premium, which is exactly what I alluded to. What can the rest of us even do? Makes me think my class of people are just considered garbage humans by everyone.
- ken47 3y agoWhat is your class of people? The 99.99% that you alluded to in another comment? Can that be called a class of people?
- laidoffamazon 3y agoCorrect, those of us that didn't get into any elite institution (and most likely aren't considered "qualified").
- theGnuMe 3y agoYou are indeed missing something obvious.
- laidoffamazon 3y agoHelp me out here, what am I missing?
- theGnuMe 3y agoMaybe read the article?
- laidoffamazon 3y agoIt seems like my takeaway is identical to the article's takeaway, that getting in matters more than going. Unless you're thinking of something else. The whole "matters less multiple years into career" bit is a cope if it's just a measure of how inherently good you are if you can get in. There seems to be a clear separation between the people that get in and the people that don't!
- theGnuMe 3y agoGood students will do well wherever they go. The “getting in” qualification is a red herring. In this case it serves as the control.
