Ivy League universities are a scam anyways. They are overpriced and overrated. Why anybody would take in hundreds of thousands of dollars of student loan debt JUST so they can brag about how much better they are than everyone else because they went to somewhere like Harvard is beyond my comprehension. Yes, I do realize that you can meet contacts at an Ivy League university and some jobs become more accessible to you. There are many other ways to become successful and wealthy without even going to a university though. Entrepreneurship comes to mind, which you don't even need college for.


I think that's another problem with high schools in particular. They make students think that they won't amount to anything if they don't get into a top university. As a result, many high school students are being overworked with school, desperately trying to keep their grades up and taking a bunch of AP classes just so they can get into an Ivy League university.

The whole system is a big scam. The best way to avoid being scammed is to not play the scammers game. That's why I am doing things my own way. I refuse to conform to a society that encourages me to do things that make me unhappy just to fit in. After all, you wouldn't play a game against a cheater, would you?
