[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread is simply so out of touch with reality. Most people don’t care. I don’t care. I’ve worked with people from ivies and I’ve worked with people from unimpressive party schools. Their educational background has almost no correlation with how good of a coworker (or, in general, how good of an employee) they are.

Do people really feel the way OP does? Caring that much about pedigree just sounds exhausting. [/quote]

But this thread is about college years, not post college.  [/quote]

But doesn’t one have to do with the other? Isn’t the point of college… getting a job? If I’m working with (and making similar salaries as) people from prestigious universities, then what’s the point of this conversation? Ultimately, so many of us end up in the same fields, with the same titles, doing similar work. I spend very little time worrying about where my colleagues went to college. [/quote]

Spend more time with the super nerds.  Education has value for it's own sake for some of these geeks [/quote]
