I do find quite a few Ivy Leaguers here in DC. In all honesty, it explains all the socially awkward people and douchy people in DC. My guess is there are a ton of Ivy Leaguers because their are a ton of nerds with no social skills on one spectrum and then the nerds that act douchy because now they live in DC (and are usually from the Midwest somewhere) making ok money and think they're something now.

I find the people overly concerned with the provenance of someone's degree to be very tiring. They are usually very insecure and feel that they have to denigrate others to establish their validity.

Do mature adults actually refer to other adults as "nerds?" I thought that kind of nonsense and childish name calling ended after leaving high school. I find it amusing that usually the people who go around calling others nerds are those who peaked in high school, while the "nerds" often go on to pursue a lifetime of learning, setting and reaching personal and professional goals, and pursuing other interesting endeavors.
Nerdy chicks are hot, I married one, she's a college graduate, I was prior service Army. We do good in life, not bragging, just stating that opposites can and do attract wether nerdy, Ivy League, or otherwise.
I do think some of these younger folks tend to go a bit far with the uber competitive I'm a Georgetown Grad, I'm a Harvard Grad, this, that, or the other.
I come from the old school where having a college degree was not the only way to become successful. You young folks today have been robbed by a lot of these colleges for what they are charging you.
Having the desire to achieve an education should not put a young man or woman into excessive debt.

When I was in college, I was definitely in the nerd crowd (engineering). The flip side is that today all the nerds make twice what those who called them nerd make, are married to the hot chicks, and rule the world. The "cool guys" from those days sell cars.
