...been a senior for less than a month but already I'm sick of it. The toga parties and all that are fine, but worrying about graduate schools and scholarships is no fun at all.

Their book glitters with oddments: the highest-status job is president of a billion-dollar corporation; the most envied use of money is for travel and expensive recreation; inherited money automatically earns a higher social standing regardless of class; college graduates who are not doing well (earning less than $20,000 a year) emphasize their degrees when claiming status identification; to the proudest group belong those who got rich without much formal education; the welfare...
