Should I start banging on about inheritance tax and get this moved to OT so McW, Cam and I can argue politics?

I've never really wanted to be a millionaire, as it must be boring making hats all day.
I have no idea why it appeals to people.

You just roll in exalted circles. I know a few who went to tier 4 law schools and a couple that never graduated college.

You should absolutely go to a good school if you can. If your target good school will take transfer credits, transfer in your gen-ed credits from an accredited LOCAL community college and save the dough!
Don't start life with a debt load. Don't do iiiiiitttttt!!!

A lot more of those people have what I call "street smarts" as well, which are a great deal more valuable imo. A lot of the times I wonder how some of these people survive day to day despite the fact their book smarts are off the charts.

I smell politispeak!
Odd but understandable... 90% of the millionaires I personally know did not go to Ivy league. About 1/4 of them don't even have college degrees or didn't get them until after they made their millions. I suspect you just know a higher percentage of 'professional occupation' millionaires as a percentage of the total millionaires out there due to where you live and what your occupation is. That's not to say that you don't stand a higher chance of becoming a millionaire by going to Ivy league schools. It was just a peculiar observation.
