No one cares where you went to high school except college admissions boards, and then everyone cares where you went to college.[/quote]

This way of thinking is about a decade outdated. Do you work outside the home?[/quote]

One does not work inside the home.  Yes, I'm employed and no one has ever cared where I went to high school or impressed that I went to better high schools.  They care where I got my master's degree from and I have the proper credentials for the job.  [/quote]

The point I was trying make is that outside of perhaps academia, few employers anymore are hung up on where you went to college. For anyone paying attention, we are living in a tech-driven talent economy and companies that hope to survive want to know what you can do, not what your pedigree is. I work for a major media company, a big brand name; 10 years ago the class of summer interns was almost entirely Ivy League kids, this summer, none are. They come from a wide variety of colleges, including many state schools. The thing they have in common is they all have sophisticated digital skills and creative talent.

The field is leveling in similar fashion is most industries. What can you do, not where did you go.[/quote]

It depends on your job - I care where my doctor went to school or other professions.  In IT, no it doesn't matter as much.[/quote]
