[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a stupid list. "Hiring managers" -- what type? Recruiters for Fortune 100 companies? Law firms? Hospitals?

If you said hiring managers for business, law and medicine, OK, then this list might make a little more sense.

"25 best colleges" for what? The "best" program in XYZ may be at the University of Arkansas.

Also, this list does not take into account the financial realities these days when college costs upwards of $60K per year. Several top students at DD's high school went to state schools because of cost. These are the very best and the brightest, but their parents said, unh-uh, as we did to our DD, who did was accepted to one of the colleges on the above list, but turned it down in favor of a cheaper state college.

I agree that recruiters are lazy. But the reality is that for some very competitive jobs, if you don't go to one of the colleges on this list, you are not going to be in the running.

I know a Federal judge who will not consider anyone for a clerkship who does not have a law degree from Harvard, Yale or Stanford. Period. The reason: Out of a stack of 500 resumes, she has to whittle down the candidates, and that's how she does it. She admits that she may be missing some fabulous candidates, but she can't interview them all.
