[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Met a kid great career and he only talked about going to Wilson (JR but Wilson when he graduated 10 years ago).

He was in the CS and doing well but never once mentioned he where he went to college. As you can advance in that field without a degree.

I asked where he went to college and he reluctantly told me Harvard. He said his career was stunted post college as he was the Harvard grad - either it was too easy for the Harvard grad or too hard for a new hire. His friends from Wilson who went to UMD and UDE; etc were doing more interesting things and advancing. He took Harvard off his resume and his career got so much better.[/quote]

Companies don’t think of Harvard when they are looking for engineers or computer science / programmers.  They look towards MIT, UMD, schools that are known for quality programs in that field.

I’ve got a lot of family members from present to way back that went to Harvard and they never had to hide it or talk about it once they were working adults with families.

What did he put on his resume as his source of training?  [/quote]
