If anything the difference is in how people portray themselves and not about actual wealth. One of my good friends went off to Ole Miss in his BMW with all his nice clothes and his parents practically broke themselves to make it happen. They did it so he could "fit in" and get into Greek Life at Ole Miss. My dad was different. I got a job at age 16 and I worked until I went to school. I recall saying to my father one time, "we have money don't we?" and his reply was, "your mother and I have money yes, you don't have ****." My dad paid my way through MSU because he felt that having a fun college experience was part of the learning process but I was taught to work and I was expected to go out into the world from college and make it on my own. (Another of his classic quotes, on graduation day he came up, shook my hand and said, "Congratulations! Now get your **** out of my house." (he was kidding))Xenomorph said:
What we have here is a different view on wealth and how that wealth should be used and passed down. So Ole Miss has an advantage in perceived wealth but I would imagine in terms of real wealth the gap is much smaller.
