HA!  Do you REALLY think ANYONE is hired into a "high powered" job out of college? That is referred to as ENTRY LEVEL.  I'm talking C-Suite jobs.  No one questions the contention that strong college pedigree helps in obtaining ENTRY LEVEL jobs (which is what you, as a college career director, handle), the point is that one's educational credentials have diminishing value as they build a career track record. By the time it comes to C-Suite, Partnership, Managing Director hiring those credentials are nothing more than a PLUS factor.

In my experience, positions in the administration of colleges (e.g., college career director) are full of frustrated professionals who can't understand why their educational pedigree hasn't taken them further.

Different PP here, not the college career person. You are cray cray!

Or, you think your "clever" and you can change the subject around and "nobody will notice" and then we'll stop ragging on your sheer stupidity for the "I won't hire Ivy grads" comment. I'm here to call you on this BS. Nobody suggested that an Ivy degree is a ticket for life, anywhere in this thread. Instead, let's be clear: you're getting beaten up because everybody is responding to your stupid comment that you wouldn't hire Ivy grads for all these "high powered" positions you supposedly control.

Geez. It's scary to think that someone as dense and blinkered as you is in charge of hiring "high powered" managers. Then again, all the evidence (your writing style, your sheer ignorance) point to the conclusion that you're lying.[/quote]

+1 The guy is lying. And if he's not, he's just doing those ivy grads a favor. Although I'm sure they wouldn't want to work at his company anyway. They don't seem too bright. And one thing I can tell you about ivy grads is that they love to work around other smart people.

Thank goodness they have ivy credentials. I'm certain other 'high powered' companies are snatching them up left and right. I've graduated from 2 ivy schools, so I know tons of ivy grads. And not one has any problem finding a position or advancing in their careers. [/quote]
