My advice was hardly "shit" (in your oddly offensive choice of terms).

Out of curiosity, I went to look and see where the top executives of Goldman Sachs went to undergrad.  A couple of them did not list their undergrad degree, but the others were [b]decidedly non-top brand names[/b].  The schools included University of Texas, Pace, American, University of Rome, [b]Chicago[/b], Boston College, and NYU.  Paulson went to Harvard, but he was one of the few Ivy Leaguers ( although a few had Wharton MBAs).  These are the cream of the crop and I suspect their success has more to do with what they can do, not which brand-name degree is on the wall.

The advice to go to the "highest ranking" school you can is more like the "shit" of which you speak.  And don't get me started on starting out life $200,000 in debt chasing that brass degree.[/quote]

I'm not the PP you're arguing with, but perhaps you can't see why it might be a big difficult to take you seriously. Was this a joke? Chicago is ranked #4 in the country; if that's not "top brand name," I'm not sure what is. Was your point that not every CEO comes from Harvard? [/quote]
