Once again, Phil brought up why he wasn't accepted into that Ivy League school and ranting about how because he wasn't "an athlete or a minority", he wasn't accepted. Phil fails to realize that schools like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc...do not give give athletic scholarships. Second of all, you have to not just have good grades and do volunteer work to get into Ivy League schools, hell any decent college for that matter, they want a well written essay about a time - or times - about a specific challenge you overcame and other achievements. Not getting that Wolverine toy at 14 doesn't count and/or dancing with that hot Latina doesn't count as a "specific challenge you overcame.", Phil. Good grades do help, but they also want people that overcame certain challenges and what made them who they are today.
Speaking of college, he called his business degree "worthless", as he couldn't get a decent job out of college. Uh, hate to break it to you, Phil. Most people don't, unless their internships can turn into a job fresh out of college and/or they know someone who can get their foot in the door into a place. College isn't just to "study", it's also to make connections and to network with people. It's why it's helpful to make connections to your favorite professors in college, as they can 1). Write a letter of recommendation 2). Have a former colleague at major corporation that can get your foot in the door, especially if you're the same alumni as that person, as you're looked more favorably than someone else who went to another university. However, being a friendless weirdo, you wouldn't know this unless you were handheld.
