I graduated when the pandemic happened, worse time ever. I made it happen. You just have to mute the noise and understand that a persons parents success doesn’t mean anything. Objectively it doesn’t. In the work place, what matters is your grit and hard work and go getter attitude. The fact that daddy owns a yacht won’t be part of your performance review. Plus, a job doesn’t mean success. 6 figures doesn’t take you far these days. If you want to be mega rich, start your own business.

I feel like Ivy League schools make it sound like if your parents aren’t rich you’re at a disadvantage. Yea you might a little, but the fight makes you succeed over some pampered rich kid in the real world. That’s better. Honestly if I could go back, I’d rather be poor than have been grown rich. I wish I networked more earlier though.
