Let’s face it folks. This is about playing with egoes and insecurities and marketing. If institutions could genuinely defend their pricetags in terms of value, they would. Instead they allow the consumers to determine the value. And sadly, we do.

There are bright kids from Slippery Rock who’ve gone to Harvard Business School. And there are idiots from Bucknell who slept thru graduation. The struggle here is with us, not them. There aren’t but a few figurative handfuls of Bucknell kids who could get into Princeton. How do we know that? Because they would, if they could. There’s no diff in cost. And in fact they might get more aid there. And we can fill in many institutional names for Bucknell, so not to pick at them unduly. But the only real reason that merits going to is ego. Ours. Mine.
