I feel compelled to defend myself as I don't live "a life of self-gratification and night clubbing" & your generalizations / stereotyping have hurt my feelings.
1. I went to not one, but two blue ribbon schools growing up, in a city where the income per capita is $25k/yr. It wasn't in Miami but it was in South Florida.
2. I volunteer regularly, donate regularly & I'm vegetarian. Hardly the life of a self-gratifying heathen.
3. Our interns at 1Sale.com have come in from Dartmouth & we've received applications from kids that are at Stanford. There are MIT grads at startups down here too (don't want to put anyones name out who doesn't want).
If I was seeking self-gratification I'd be out every night drinking & partying, not in my office working on features for customers or optimizing processes for the company. I really didn't appreciate the personal jab, MattsterToo.
