(Yes, that's this berk's background.)

Please don't take this a blanket condemnation.  But I think people raise Ivy League grads to a higher station than they deserve and people like me who started at a community college and then a state school (Go Minutemen!) are looked at as being on a lower plane than we deserve. 

My nephew-in-law is an Ivy league graduate.  Not impressed. 

Like you, started at a community college for my associates degree.  Then finished with my bachelor's at a state university, and was able to parlay that into achieving many of my life's professional goals.

Go State Schools

Colleges aren't just for education (as important as that is); the most prestigious of them are historical crucibles that create change across society at every level.
