[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you all state your school and NW and we'll see if there's any correlation. [/quote]

Spouse has been executive and CEO at 3 small companies (2-3K employees).  The executive teams at all 3 companies were filled with excellent people from no-name or schools ranked less than 50, most ranked less than 100.  Spouse is the only one from a T20 school---and spouse never used any of their connections from that school to get anywhere in career---it's all their own connections afterwards and quite simply their work ethic and quality of work.  
All the executives at both companies are multi millionaires, most $8-10M+
Last 2 EVP of sales both NEVER completed college (known one for over 15 years and just learned that recently, as it simply doesn't matter)
"highest ranked colleges" any of the other execs attended: 
NCState, Cal Poly, Towson, Salisbury, UMBC, and the list goes on.  Several are much "lower ranked" and only know to local area.

Yet somehow they are all executives, well respected and worth $8M+ (before 40 for most of them).  School didn't matter---it was their drive and determination that got them to where they are
