[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Educational Debt can be substantial. Especially if you get into and decide to attend a "top tier" school. And, yes, while one could forego that for a lesser school for many -MANY- employers, they are credential hounds, plain and simple. They'll take a lesser impressive Harvard or Stanford applicant over an over-achieving Maryland grad any day of the week. I don't personally agree with that (it sickens me, actually) but, having been on multiple hiring panels, I know this to be absolutely true.

So don't discount how burdensome educational debt can be.[/quote]Not to discount your concerns. But what I have found is that the employers only look at the school of the graduates. Once you have some job experience they are interested in that

Original PP. Glad to hear that is the case in some places. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience.

We recently hired for a temp position. My boss was hell bent on hiring this one women just b/c she went to Harvard Law (she was working at a firm and looking to switch to govt.) But she had no experience in the subject-matter area we were hiring and no first-chair litigation expertise (which was the point of the hiring). I lobbied successfully for the individual who possessed the latter two qualities but went to a "lesser" state school. But, it was so after much discussion and debate.[/quote]

This is the result of too many people going to college. To uneven the score, the hierarchy of brands are most important among degrees. Just another subtle way of keeping our caste system in balance.[/quote]
