Or in the not-so-long run. This was a major problem for many of my
classmates in college. It was a very high-powered place, and almost
everyone found themselves outclassed in some respect. I have never
cared much how I stacked up to anyone else, but even so I did notice
that I was not the smartest nor most successful person there. For
some, not being the smartest person they knew for the first time in
their lives was devastating.
