, ranked number one on the list released Monday, admits only 4% of the ambitious, overachieving and practically perfect teenagers seeking entrance. It costs $57,000 a year to go there, which, believe it or not, is less than it now costs to attend the school that awarded me my degree.
My parents, both of whom were employed by the state of Mississippi, blessed my decision to attend the school I did and had faith that any degree I got from there would catapult me into a kind of economic comfort they didn’t enjoy. Their faith was rewarded. I am better off financially than they ever were.

Because they know that, despite whatever demagoguery they’re selling, a degree has value.
