[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The very way you answer speaks volumes. Employers do not want snobby and entitled kids. I think a lot of the wealthy have had a lock on opportunity and times have changed. They really have. The point is that schools are not the holy grail. Emotional IQ is very important but ivy schools tend to foster an attitude of entitlement and that is not helpful in today’s and the future job market. [/quote]

Your comment demonstrates your lack of education and critical thinking skills. First, not all Ivy grads come from wealthy backgrounds. The elite Ivies offer full scholarships to working class families. Attending an Ivy is coveted often precisely because it facilitates social mobility.  Second, not all Ivy grads are entitled.  I have hired several, and they are smart, personable, and hardworking.  Third, attending less prestigious schools brings with it no intrinsic value or virtue. I have worked with colleagues from such institutions who are lazy, entitled, and lacking in intelligence.

Times have changed and will continue to change.  As an employer, I need smart, adaptable people, not people who think in cliches and stereotypes. Most of all, I hate people who can’t write or make a coherent argument. [/quote]

You realize  that was an extended cliche, I hope.  And which are the non-elite Ivies?[/quote]
