All the NYC women have children that are 15 and below, so you can't say all those kids will go to college. True there are some OC kids who didn't go to college, but that happens everywhere. Brianna is in school, so is Michael. Shane aspires to be a baseball player, and from what it seems like he's doing pretty well. Cara is in school (so who cares that she didn't get accepted to USC or UCLA? That doesn't negate the fact that's she going to a pretty darn good school). I'm pretty sure Josh said something about going to college, and aren't Lauri's step-kids barely out of high school? I know McKenzie is younger than Ashley.
I do agree that the OC and NYC women think of money in different ways. The OC women are more "materialistic"--they want to buy expensive things, purses, cars, clothes, boobs---while the NYC women use money to hang over people's heads.
I kinda disagree with you all saying that the NYC women care more about charity, I think the only one that truly cares about charity is Bethenny. Going to charity and fundraiser events is just an opportunity to climb the social ladder. I honestly respect people more if they decided not to give to charity rather to the people who give to charity so they can have a "look at me, I gave 1 million to so-and-so charity so now i'm popular, love me cause now i can have friends and parties to go to and i'm not a wallflower anymore" attitude.

Yeah, there are a lot of people who would say that Cal is a better school than UCLA, and MOST would say that it's better than USC. I'm amazed that she got in to Cal but was rejected by USC.
I had the same thought as you regarding the NY women's charity events. I don't think they go to them because they believe in the charity - they go to them because they're social events and things that Society go to.
One thing goes for both of these shows' women: they may have all the money in the world, but most of them look and act like trash. Bethanny and LuAnn in NY look nice and are OK, but the OC women look like they're trying to desperately recapture their 20s, and some of the NYC women have way outdated and unflattering hair. And most of them prove that money doesn't buy class.
