[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Usually they have jobs waiting for them via their parent/relative’s company or connections. It’s not just about the degree. It’s about the legions of privileges that enabled you to attend such a school in the first place. (And please none of the rags-to-riches stories - these obviously are not the norm.)[/quote] I don't think this is necessarily true. I worked for a firm that exclusively advertised their internships at the Ivies. They were just looking at resumes, not connections. I think these are the types of advantages that result in a better looking resume upon graduation. It was actually the opposite, in my opinion, successful younger people that didn't go to the elites relied on their connections to get those initial interesting jobs to fill their resumes. [/quote]
