[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If two people apply for a job and one went to University of Minnesota and one went to Dartmouth, the only thing that will matter is who nails the job interview. [/quote]

Where do you live? I'm sorry but this is just not true in DC. School snobbery is alive and well.[/quote]

I am not the PP.
I live in MoCo. I work in IT and it would not matter if somebody went to Dartmouth but I only hire high level architects.

I have a large family and my UMCP brother is doing much better than my Duke brother. (That is if you mean $$$$)

I can really look at a gazillion people and if you look at "doing well" as $$$ (many of my friends/family do not value $$$... many are in service jobs) but it is all over the board when it comes to success and where you went to school.

I think the people that I know that went to Ivy believe that is why there are so successful and my friends/family that went to UMCP and are equally successful would say it's about working hard. So it is perspective.

I would say that most the people I know own their own businesses though are not necessarily lawyers. So maybe that is the difference, though we have 3 lawyers in my immediate family. (And 2 hate being lawyers.) Maybe you would say they are not as successful as the Ivy lawyers because they make $500K instead of $800+, what is your definition of "success".[/quote]
