Well I suppose using that argument you could say that the parents of Ted Kaczynski (the Unabomber) must have been REALLY feeling cheated by paying for his Harvard degree, right? What I'm saying is this. Getting a top degree greatly increases the chances of you succeeding. But like anything in life, there are no guarantees. It's all about playing the odds. Anything could happen. But we need to deal with what is likely to happen. The fact is, people who work hard and get a good education will probably succeed. Those who are lazy and neglect their education will probably not succeed. No guarantees of course. But the odds are with you.
