Community College Degree Just As Good as Cornell Degree?

There’s a deep-seated antagonism against intellectual development in this country. If you work hard to make $10 million running a tow truck company, you’ll be a hero. If you work hard to get into and succeed at a difficult school, you will be an elitist who thinks you’re better than everyone else. You would never find this attitude in many eastern countries, which is why I think we’re slipping quickly on the world stage.

<p>I agree with this. I am not sure why such attitude prevails in this country, despite it having world’s best universities.</p>
