[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up middle class in the Midwest and attended a top 15 school. [b]College definitely widened my perspective[/b], but the particular college I attended hasn’t influenced my career trajectory. Turns out, I find most jobs a bore and have never found a deep passion. That said, I’m a hiring manager at a prestigious federal agency, and resumes with prestigious schools grab my attention. Maybe I have unknowingly benefited from my school’s reputation, but I have never been told that. [/quote] It sounds like your perspective is narrow if you are classifying a federal agency as [b]prestigious[/b] and if only [/b]prestigious[b] schools grab your attention. How about the kids who graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from what you consider to be less prestigious schools? Do they grab your attention? [/quote]
