[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I reject Ivy leaguers from jobs all day.  [b]My favorite hires are usually state school honors program kids. [/b] Bright, realistic, and hungry![/quote]

This is who our hiring panels favor as well. The Ivies are almost disadvantaged at our firm. [/quote]

When I hear this I think people just want to hire people they can boss around more. [/quote]

No, not at all.  In fact we want someone with a backbone.  I will hire Ivy kids if I see they have middle or lower class background, or ROTC or food service jobs or agricultural work.  Real world experience.  I'm dating myself but a kid came in from Harvard with Subway Certified Sandwich Artist on his resume and it really did make a difference to me.[/quote]

I know that's your schtick and the way you think you're doing it.  But it's biased and as a psychologist I think there's something more going on.  Just my 2c.[/quote]

Many people get insecure when they see that Ivy degree.    [/quote]

I also think the poster you’re responding to wants poorer kids she can boss around. [/quote]

Yep "they're hungry and realistic" = "they will be happy with the scraps I give them" [/quote]
