[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aside from Palantir, are there other companies that actively look to hire talented high school students?[/quote] Have you worked with adults that don’t have a college degree or any specialized training? Have you managed these type of workers? I’ve done both and it is ROUGH. Their thought processes are different, especially if they come from an hourly background. I much prefer hiring and working with college graduates.[/quote] Palantir is obnoxious, and I’m here defending the idea that getting a good college education is fun and wonderful. But I think it’s important to make the point, that might be implicit in what you’re saying, that excessive credentialism is bad, too. We’ve probably all met brilliant, well-educated, mentally agile people who weren’t able to get a bachelor’s degree, for whatever reason. [/quote]
