[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree, I hire high level people (200K+) and I have never heard of a jefferson scholarship until my child was a senior at a VA school.  Go to Harvard unless you will be in debt forever. Its major league/minor league. Both good. [/quote]

Why would you care about where "high level" people went to college? Sounds, ummm, untrue.[/quote]

Really? Interesting. I will tell you why I care. The old school top schools were a litmus test of intellect. It was an IQ test on the resume.  People can make up ANYTHING on their resume or linkedin (and trust me, they do). The referrals they give you are only going to speak positively. Former HR offices will tell you nothing for fear of a lawsuit. Unless it's a technical interview with coding or other tests, it's very difficult to determine if someone is a hero or zero in an hour conversation.  Its probably the biggest inefficiency in modern work - so many posers, why can't I see their last 10 years of performance reviews? Anyway, I digress. The point is, I do give extra special treatment to UVA grads and Ivy grads (pre-2017, I no longer believe in academic rigor being the Ivy's priority) because I knew they were smart to be going there and smart people can be trained, grown and have more potential regardless of role.

So yeah, not sure why you think that is weird. Regardless, never heard of a Jefferson scholar until this year.[/quote]

Let me introduce you to the concept of at-will employment. [/quote]
