[quote=Anonymous]As an employer, all I can say is that we have seen ZERO correlation between students who went to prestigious universities for their major, and their job performance. If the teaching at their schools and peer group are helping them come out with a better ability to perform their job, then it really isn't showing up in the field.

I went to a "school for the poors" as did my entire family. My husband (who went to a college on no one's radar because of the $ they offered) and I run a successful company and will be retiring soon with a secure financial future for several generations. One of my cousins is a physician. Another will be retiring early also, having done well in his chosen field. My younger brother would have retired by now, except for alimony. Most of my friends from the lab where we worked together have gone on to really successful careers, including one who has an MD-PhD and is renowned in her field.

In the current generation (nieces/nephews), the most prestigious school anyone has gone to is UChicago, and all are doing well, including the ones that went state flagships. Most of the choices were made on the basis of finances, so they've all come out with no debt.

Anyway, my long-winded way of saying that I agree with the OP.[/quote]
