[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay but why should I, as an employer, GAF who is the best student? I don’t have any jobs for studying and taking tests. I need to know who is the best project manager and best salesperson and best communicator. Mind you, I do think student quality has some overlap with the skills I’m looking for, but you’re the one talking about the “best students.”

I find the obsession over where a person spends 4 years of their life really odd. Especially in the DMV, people seem to take more about predictors of success than actual… success.

And before you accuse me of being a naive populist, I went to Northwestern.[/quote]

+1. I went to an "elite" college and a top 15 law school, but I mostly haven't worked with people with educational pedigrees like that. I've worked with people with two degrees from Liberty and people with law degrees from UDC and the University of Baltimore who were just as good as their jobs as I am at mine. Now, if my boss asked us to take the SAT, I'd smoke 'em, but that's never come up.[/quote]
