Sorry, not sorry.  Your view is extremely elitist.[/quote]

This whole thread is elitist! Ha

Someone on this thread said that a bachelor's degree in English from Harvard is highly educated lmao[/quote]

HYP/Oxbridge provide a truly exceptional undergraduate education.  Look at how many bestselling authors and high level journalists have nothing more than an undergraduate degree from these institutions.  And why are they favored over MBA's from middling institutions when it comes to the most coveted Wall Street and City of London jobs if the MBA is more "highly educated"?   I actually think there is a case for the BA to MA conversion at Oxbridge, their knowledge in the subject probably is good if not better as an MA from a middling institution.  [/quote]

A liberal arts degree is significantly easier than a degree in engineering or physics IMHO. Any dumbass like myself can regurgitate information and figure out how to write a decent paper. There is a reason why so many people get weeded out of medicine, engineering, etc.

Wall Street mostly recruiting at top schools probably has a lot to do with personal bias. It's just a new version of the good 'ol boy network. I'm sure students at top schools are generally bright and received a great education, but there is often a gap between educational achievement and excelling in the workplace.

Maybe someone who attended both a middling school  :lol: and a top 10 school could chime in.[/quote]
