Seems like a bad vibe to imply someone shouldn't aspire to go to state school or work a humble job for money to get through it, even though given both options, indeed they may dream about the fancy one. Denny's has the best milkshakes anyway and state school is probably a much more sensible place to attend.
This makes Jensen one of those people that climbed all the way from the bottom to the top, which is more admirable.
And yet this is exactly how families talk about their cousins in hushed tones, as bad and immoral as it is.
