> Caroline, Alameda's CEO, also said "My advice for college is that class don't matter that much and friends and networking are really important. Probably the most valuable thing you can do in college is find the coolest people you can and spend lots of time hanging out with them".

This is mainstream advice if you're at an Ivy, Stanford, etc. You're learning the same material as the people who go to a state university. The advantage is the proximity to power, the people you rub elbows with who can help your career down the line.

This is the entire premise of elite business schools – nobody is dropping $100k/year for the content that you can get on YouTube for free.
