You clearly have never been to a major university. I don't know where your aggression for colleges came from, but it is far off base. You have this preconceived notion that all university students come from ultra affluent families and sit around and count their money all day until daddy gets them a job. This could not be further from the truth. College students come from all economical, social and racial backgrounds. The majority of my college buddies paid for their school and came from regular middle class families. Of course Corporate America is all about who you know, but guess what so is every other industry. I got everyone of my construction jobs during school because I knew someone not because I was an ace with a hammer. If you do not like how corporate America is run then go get a college education (MBA) promote yourself through the ranks and change it the way you would like it. I did not come from a rich family in fact far from it, but every time things don't go my way I do not blame the wealthy. I have been fortunate to grow up in such a great country that I have been afforded the same opportunities as my rich friends. You need to stop rationalizing and pointing fingers at the wealthy last time I checked you were not a serf and they do not control any aspect of your life. You clearly have you mind set against college but in the end no matter how you rationalize it, you are only hurting your professional career.
