[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread is simply so out of touch with reality. Most people don’t care. I don’t care. I’ve worked with people from ivies and I’ve worked with people from unimpressive party schools. Their educational background has almost no correlation with how good of a coworker (or, in general, how good of an employee) they are.

Do people really feel the way OP does? Caring that much about pedigree just sounds exhausting. [/quote]

Only low ambition folks don’t care and people trying to cope with they or their kids landing at degree mills. [/quote]

There's that binary thinking again -- either elite or a degree mill.

I just looked up where my company's CEO went to undergrad (large company, brand all of Dcum would know) -- Small Catholic U in the Midwest that I've never heard of with an 80% acceptance rate. My DD goes to a mid ranked LAC that most people haven't heard of but alums include Nobel prize winners. OP doesn't think these people exist.[/quote]

Is ceo a Marquette Grad? Excellent school with a 80% acceptance rate[/quote]
