No offense to anyone, but I'll take that Berkeley kid any day.

  As may I .. that's not the point.

    If you're saying "people who matter" value the superficial over substance, then I'd further conclude that they literally don't matter.

      My wording may be wrong. If you have something in common with someone, you are more likely to help them and want to work with them. The fact is, Harvard/Ivy/elite private school alums, on the whole, are currently in greater positions of power than Berkeley/elite public school alums (this may change in the future of course). For that reason alone, the value of being "from Harvard" is greater than being "from Berkeley".

        I see what you're saying, but I'm so glad I don't live in that world anymore.

          Did you move to Mars? We all live in "that world", it's not a choice ..

            I think rjbond might be referring to the slightly more meritocratic "world" of SV engineering.

            You are assuming that everyone values the same things.
