Although connections give one a great headstart, they aren't everything. The person is what matters the most. For example, a former president of the american college of surgery is a friend of mine. He is from a small town and went to a medical school no one has ever heard of. But he's really talented and dedicated. That's what is really important. We live in a meritocracy, fortunately. Chin up.
