[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My last 3 CEOs went to crappy colleges. So what [/quote]

Having worked for the government and private industry I haven't seen many people in high places from elite universities.  I don't know where they all go, but they certainly aren't well-represented in the federal govt. or in many fortune 500 companies.[/quote]

Lots of F500 HQs are in flyover country. Ivy grads don’t want to be in Bentonville or Milwaukee.[/quote]

Ironically, I reside in Tulsa - 2 hours away.  There are a number of Ivy grads, due to oil money, in town.   I interviewed for a job with more than one, and honestly, they were book-smart but had zero critical thinking skills. It was their viewpoint - and theirs alone.   I'd rather have an Oklahoma State graduate who has been able to think on all sides of an argument and has some decent ethics. I know plenty of students from middle of the road colleges who lead great organizations and live wealthy lives.[/quote]
