It also doesn’t mean that you need to sell your soul during your teenage years so you can “have your options open” later.

I went to a state school and still had a 7 fig income before I was 30. It’s by no means a requirement and I think most “smart” people would agree.

There is massive difference between going to state school and going to new no-name university OP just created. The claim was about the latter.

State schools are mostly good schools and standard start, sure. Statistically you are beyter off going to top schools, but that is about that.

OP proposed to create new university that will attract smart students. And there, chances are it will be as successful as Trump university and attract only that not exactly smart crowd.
