I don’t really understand the big deal with wealthy folk buying themselves into elite colleges …

The truth is elite colleges 🎓 are overpriced education, when there are much cheaper and better state schools available. Education shouldn’t be competitive, you should be able to buy it like you buy a pair of jeans 👖 at Wal-Mart. If you have money is piss away 💵 then do it but I think it’s better to pay for education with cash and get it done as cheaply as possible, gaining the necessary skills you need to be successful in your career.
