I’m gonna need a steel man here. Is this real status they are buying? If so it has real impact? These are otherwise shrewd people.

  Bragging about where your kid goes to school is extremely common. It signals not only what can you afford (like a car), but also lets you buy and display a bunch of gear. (University name) Dad is like a super common apparel and bumper sticker item. And having, e.g., Stanford Dad is more prestigious than eg New Mexico State Dad apparel.

    Yes, but having gone to Stanford is significantly better than New Mexico State. But is UC Berkeley better than community college transfer to UC Davis?

      while having paper from Stanford may open some doors for you if you network well while you are there the degree from New Mexico State can get you a lucrative career if you know wtf you are doing. business work on the bottom line and in my three decades in the industry I have found more gems from non-Ivy league schools than otherwise by a wide margin
