Would you keep crying all your life on this "prestige" thing ? If you think you're better then prove it

Are you saying I'm inferior?

You said multiple times "others are perceived better". Don't go into semantics now. Admit it, you have. Brand NCSU < Brand Harvard, no matter how much you cry on HN.

That's rough dude. Why do you think I'm such a failure?

I'm not actually sure what semantics you're referring to, btw. AFAIK you went to CMU ECE (not SCS) and not Harvard so I'm not so sure you can make that comparison anyway. How exactly do you think I should prove it?

Have fun trolling or crying. Don't know which one is worse.

What part of what I said is trolling?

What would you say to a CS student in Africa or South America ? You won a huge lottery being born in the US and going to a US school. Imagine them trying to break into Silicon Valley. We should strive towards a more equitable society but we can't let our day to day being defined by it. My comments stand regardless of my major, school etc. You're at Amazon and probably earning more than most people here. So you either did it due to your school or despite your school. Both scenarios seem favorable for your future.

> We should strive towards a more equitable society but we can't let our day to day being defined by it.

Didn't you say "its over for you" previously

> You're at Amazon and probably earning more than most people here

I find that unlikely

> Both scenarios seem favorable for your future

Is it?

What would you tell the students from 3rd world countries then ? "Whine and cry" all your lives ?

Don't know, not caring is an American birthright.

"Not caring is an Ivy League birthright"

Also used Harvard because you mention Boston in your comments.
