Er, there was no conflation. If you're going to talk about intellectual heavy-lifting, at least do some intellectual push-ups to warm yourself up. You know, simple stuff. Like reading the posts you're responding to. If you did that, you'd have realized that any discussion regarding starting salary had nothing to do with intelligence, and the nebulous concept of "success" was never discussed at all. Have no fear: I'll help.
Point A: Ivy League has nothing to do with intelligence.
Counter-point: Ivy League requirement: average SAT scores >/= 1450. SAT score shows very high correlation to IQ tests, general intelligence tests.
Point B: Ivy League is a sham; it's all about prestige, selectivity.
Counter-point: Partially correct. Prestige = higher starting salary, higher long-term income. But it's also about education. Better, higher education = higher starting salary, higher long-term income.
Do not conflate the points.

I would consider you someone who was intelligent at one point in his life, but seeing as you're majoring in law the extent of your intellect will be wasted bailing out some Fortune 500 when they get caught cooking the books. Regardless of what your SAT score was, or what prestigious school you've managed to squirm your way into, when all is said in done you're miring everything you learned to exploit money out of written law.
Congrats bro at your sub-standard ethical integrity, which is fairly apparent by your narcissistic need to boast your school's Alma mater as some intellectual triumph
