I was waiting for this, i knew you would find a way to weave them in even how over-represented they are and academia. 😆
I always knew the ivy league was a social club for the elite but I didn't know how deep the rabbit hole went.
you learn something new everyday

He is quoted as saying that the relevant Pearson correlation coefficients in these studies - the 'r' value - tops out at 0.6 for grades-to-IQ, and 0.25 for grades-to-conscientiousness, which if true is pretty high for that field.
But yes, corruption is a huge deal. Parents buying their kids Ivy league places is the least of it.
The entire education ecosystem from K through to post-grad peer review is a cesspool of corruption.
Almost nothing worth saving from it.

The best privilege is rich/sane family privilege and there's not even a close second.
These nepo babies will brag about their 4.0s and never acknowledge the fact that your background stress of trying not to starve has anything to do with your slightly lower GPA

> shitty job earning shit money. I had next to nothing.
I just had a Nam flashback
I worked for minimum wage at my campus job. One day a feminist coworker bitched to me about her pay.
I asked her how much she got paid, since I make minimum wage she should make 77% of that, she looked shocked and went silent.
Come to find out EVERYONE in there was not only paid more but they all got a raise and didn't tell me...
Some people just bitch about anything
@Mongoliaboo
> pay the ENTIRE down payment on his house.
😲 You just can't make this stuff up.
In fairness My parents pitch in for education related stuff but even then I STILL have student loans 😭
Meanwhile some lucky jackass is going to get a down payment on their house and/or a 50% of their bills and rent paid...
But we gotta pull ourselves up by our 🥾 straps...
I try not to think about it, its so painful.

Ingroup bias is a helluva drug lol this is some high grade copium here.
It reminds me of that Patrick meme with the wallet.
I went homeless doing this pointless shit,

This is NOT the move. It only slows the inevitable at best.
Tips for job seekers in a shit market:
1.Use Google Gemini for tailored cover letters/resumes.
Your time is valuable and most of these employers just ghost you anyway
2. Use simplify.jobs to auto fill those shitty company sites that make you put in all the same information for your resume in multiple boxes.
Feel free to chime in if you have any tips that might be helpful.

Consider yourselves lucky.
The only time I had ANY sanity was working for myself.
Companies can have a good culture but bring >2 nepo babies, DEI dummies or women and it's so over. They're cancer.
IME Most guys are usually gay/cucked if young. If old theyre smart but stubborn.
Minorities are either retarted or talented, no in-between.
ALL girls: All they do is deliberate, delegate, and bloviate while blame shifting and backstabbing.
I wish my biz took off...
