I have only worked with a few top-25 grads from Cornell, CMU, Caltech, Umich, and UVA. Every single one of them is excellent. VTech grads are also very solid.
Kids from elite schools aim for jobs on the Hill, in government, and in policy organizations all the time.
Cute, you think any of those are elite? Wow, which one do you work for? You have a high opinion of your profession... none of those are elite.
Go away bum.
The question is specifically about jobs in government, policy etc
So not elite, lemme guess, GS12 or lowely Hill mule for someloser congressional clown?

Dartmouth is an Ivy.

It’s not about where the degree is from; all that is required is a relevant degree.
It’s about the experience, the resume, the portfolio, the work samples, the references. I’ve hired Millersville (PA) over Harvard.
Sorry, I know you want to buy or talk your way into a great job, but you need to earn it.
Nope. Wrong assumption.
