[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As explained in another thread, Harvard graduates (or drop outs) tend to be poor employees (though they've started some great companies). They tend not to be team players and are overly competitive within their own organizations and sub-groups. The were often more ethically challenged than their coworkers, and engaged in political backstabbing in order to get ahead. Google used to hire the best and brightest. Eventually, they reached a similar conclusion and revised their hiring practices.

Well, look what I just read on the "NCS declining admissions" thread in the Private/Independent School forum:

[quote=Anonymous]NCS is very rigorous and very competitive - and that's the problem. NCS seeks and develops uber competitive students who excel academically, but make poor employees. They tended not to be team players. They were overly competitive within their own organizations and sub-groups. The were often more ethically challenged than their coworkers, and engaged in political backstabbing in order to get ahead. They are unable to subordinate their own egos for the benefit of the company.

NCS is not alone, other super competitive schools have the same flaw and it is not revealed until AFTER the DC is out of college/grad school. [/quote]

Thanks for the laugh, good eye. I'm pretty sure I read the same thing in yet another thread some time ago. There are always some really weird trolls on here ...[/quote]
