[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not at all. Why? Because success is not about what school you went to. Success is about how you apply the knowledge that you have, and how persistent you are re: achieving your goals.

Too many people come out of these 'top schools' and can't communicate effectively. They don't know how to work with others. They feel that they are the sharpest nail in the box, and therefore don't have to.

A corporation is made up of lots of people. Run your own business, and you will also be dealing with lots of people. Being able to do that effectively is the key to long-term success.[/quote]

Typical ivy envy nonsense that people parrot in order to make themselves feel better about the fact they didn't and never could make the Ivy cut. Most ivy and 'top school' grads are indeed effective communicators and they work extremely well with others. In fact, the majority of the ivy experience is networking (which=working with others in the real world) and communicating effectively. And top school grads actually ARE the sharpest nail in the box--the very people who get accepted into the schools in the first place.

The worst, most horrible 'leaders' I've ever worked with were state school grads. It was their lack of communication and interpersonal skills that made them such.[/quot

You're hilarious. And of course deluded. But you're probably one of those people who puts their GPA on their resume.[/quote]
