[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was talking about this with my husband and he just shrugged his shoulders and reminded me that when the time comes, he'll pull every connection he has to get our kids good internships and first jobs. And he has a lot of connections. He does people a lot of favors in order for them to return the favor someday.

At the end of the day, that's what matters most. More even than where you went to college or how you did there.

What does this mean?

A lot of people get their first jobs through connections (maybe even most?). This can't be news to you.[/quote]

Yep.  My mother knew a Cabinet Secretary who got me into the agency. That compensated for top 60 law school. Fast forward 23 years later and I am the top lawyer at a financial company. I just got my high school kid an internship with a US Senator for who I raised money for so they can go to a top college [/quote]
