Maybe signing up for a few years of service work helps replace this. A number of my peers made the decision to pursue a year or two of service after graduating from undergrad, where a wide range of jobs are available (working at an orphanage, teaching at an inner city school, etc). Not only does this give you some social awakening (albeit, not quite the same as party school xyz), but now you're benefiting society a bit more too.

I hope your peers aren't unaware of the class privileges they are enjoying. Getting an undergrad and then going into a low-paying service job is tough if you're poor.
