[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]make you think the person is extremely privileged? Especially if they’re white and/or male? I was surprised to hear that viewpoint from someone I know. I am especially IMPRESSED if I see someone who went to a low-tier college working in a really-hard-to-get job. It makes me think that person had to work especially hard to get that job. I see the college tier system as a frivolous “tax” that may have little to do with someone’s abilities. [/quote]
How do you know where your colleagues/bosses/C-suites went to college?  Have worked in private, public (fed and county), and not for profit, and have no idea where my colleagues or bosses went to college! [/quote]
Someone on some other thread posted a list of CEOs and where they went to college. It was definitely a mixed bag. I highly doubt there was nepotism involved for a person in a B rated univ getting to a CEO position.

There is more nepotism with legacy admits and those types of people getting coveted positions than the other way. [/quote]
