[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe harvard or yale make a difference but does any other school? I’m pretty underemployed and I went to a top 25 university. Would have been much cheaper to have gone to Maryland or Towson [/quote]

No it doesn't - esp after you have years of experience.

We had to do a bios for client meetings and my manager at the time was putting them together. I'll never forget - he casually asked me - did you go to university(to add to the bio)?  I said yes (and I was thinking don't you know that?!).  I guess it didn't matter. I didn't have many years experience back then either.

My best friend skipped university and progressed quickly through the ranks. It never mattered. She makes a whole lot more than me to this day (same industry).

To top it off she did many of the professional exams but didn't finish the qualification. Got too busy with the job. Never mattered, employers knew what she was capable of and promoted her accordingly.  I did do my professional qualification (and yes she still make a lot more than me - she is better).[/quote]
