I'm always wary of upvoting a comment like this , but being from India and experiencing the difference getting into a good college makes , he has a point.
Ofcourse it's not a stark choice between getting into a Stanford and serving coffee at Starbucks but still . And I can't digest the snobbery in saying that a Starbucks worker is devoid of any dignity . But the comment still somehow resonates with me.
Perhaps it's a reflection of my own inferiority complex of not being able to study at an elite institution. It's a little hard to get over such feelings.
