No, life isn't all about making money. It isn't all about being an "educated" snob either. You can be a money snob just like you can be an educated snob. Neither are very well liked.

My family is huge. I have like 28 immediate cousins. A lot of them are VERY smart. Had very good grades all throughout school. Went to Ivy league colleges on scholarships. Passed with good grades. One is now a teacher at a small high school, two others are graduated and have absolutely no idea what to do with their life. In fact one is going back to graduate school simply because she doesn't know what else to do. Now there's absolutely nothing wrong with being a teacher, we need teachers. And there's nothing wrong with going to graduate school, we need them, too. It just seems like such a waste of so much knowledge to me.

Truly brilliant people entering the workforce at mediocre positions while myself and my friends dropped out of school to build our businesses. And yet, they consider US to be the idiots. Hehe.

Money snobs and educated snobs. Plenty of both.
