[quote=deadzone][quote=Dukehorn]There are a lot of millionaires who are plumbers, realtors, developers, ambulance chasers, etc. Good for them.

There are also lots of millionaires who are interventional radiologists, CEOs, CFOs, investment bankers, partners in law firms. Most of these folks who I know do have Ivy level degrees.

If you are a smart kid which pool do you want to come out of?

There’s nothing wrong with having a middle-class lifestyle with your kids just as there’s nothing wrong with being a Harvard Law grad who would like to be a Supreme Court clerk.

Different strokes for different folks.[/quote]

This Ivy league talk is such bull crap. Out of curiosity I checked the bios of all the executives of Qualcomm. Of the 12 execs, not a single one of them attended an Ivy league school. The closest was one of them got a Masters at Stanford, but even he got undergrad at a state school.

If it makes you feel more special, go ahead and waste your money to send your kids to Ivy league. But just admit it, the only reason is so you can brag about it (i.e. you are a d-bag).[/quote]

Actually,

1. Irwin did.
2. Viterbi went to MIT.

But then again, Qualcomm arguably is past its prime in its current state.
