I grew up in a low income household (Mom never made over 20K per year in entire childhood working at least 2 jobs). My kids are/have grown up in a household starting to approach a “donut hole” income. I have seen both sides of this tale and I would chose the higher income every time, because the barriers facing students in lower income households receiving the education necessary to reach a top 20 school is overwhelming. We should probably look at the inflationary pressures that are connected to higher education costs and stop “hating” on kids who have overcome immense odds to get to schools like Georgetown.
