Columbia costs something like 45K a year to attend, and only about half of the roughly seven thousand undergrads qualify for any assistance. Do the math.
A lot of those Columbia students may not fit your idea of what a successful person is (hell, during my time there they annoyed me), but after college, a good chunk of these kids will actually go to some of the best law schools (as opposed to a TTTT like yourself) and go on to prestigious clerkships or top law firms, where they will indeed wield far, far more power than you ever will in Oklahoma.
Just so you know, and you'll stop talking out of your ass...

Most of those Columbia grads would probably trade places with me. I could have transferred to a T-2 after my first year (was #5 in my section), decided not to. I turned down law review as well.
Family law brings in the bucks as divorce/custody cases are very common. It's definitely not the only thing we do, however. Big law is highly overrated.
I'll have 99% of those Columbia grads beat in terms of both influence and salary. Sure it's Oklahoma, but it's a great place to live. I guess you can look down your nose at flyover states, but I'm pretty happy here.
