[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound like one of the people who doesn't understand that the elite college experience has very little to do with academic performance and everything to do with making connections. Read "The Years That Matter Most" by Paul Tough -- he explores this in some depth (and it's a great book). [/quote] Well, we need serious learners too, lest we continue on this downward trajectory where no one cares about work quality. [/quote] Serious learning is generally necessary but not sufficient. You get hired because of who you know. But who you know doesn't matter if you aren't at par. You aren't a contender for the top consulting jobs at all if you aren't at least at par with the folks who successfully hold those positions. [/quote]
