College is mostly pointless, the internships and networking are far more important to get a job and rich people tend to have more easy time with those.

Internships are a great thing to bring up, because when your parents are loaded, you can take an unpaid internship in an expensive city without a second thought(like, say, as one of Nancy Pelosi's secretaries).
If you have to support yourself, that same internship is a pipe dream. Also, Richie's dad knows a guy on the company's board(or maybe all the guys, if he's really rich), so the internship is probably a formality and it doesn't really matter if Richie is any good or not, they (or their parents) know all the right people.
