I do partly agree with you Jed. It is not the school or the education that is privileged. The statements from those institutions are lifted up on a pedestal because they already are accredited. I think people often select this or that school or education because they want some of the glory and that actually gives even more credit to the institutions (a no good situation). I like your comments that you maybe had some advantage early on but others had the same without ivy league diploma. Yes, I agree with that, but the reason is not hanging together with the education as education should hardly be the criteria for employment. Lack of good methods for hiring is the reason for that situation. Today many jobs are having a go - no go test, when it comes to education, which is both wrong and meaningless. Look upon why LENR does not get funding. Same thing - not established. The institutions are ruling and they fit well with the government. LENR is risky business. No Ivy League school will take the risk and no school concerned about their status either.That means that the institutions can increase fees and charge for expert analysis and advice at a higher rate, which will give professors tenure at a good income. Who would want to take a chance?
