Hi Hos

There are two reasons why elite schools matter - neither of which revolves around the actual education. First, the students at these schools enter into a world of networking that will provide them access to powerful people. Secondly, elite schools have renown that can't be touched when they appear on a resume. The most brilliant mind that ever attained a degree from Suburban Community College will not have the leg up on a student that scraped by academically at Harvard. Why? Because the HR department sees Harvard. And, the prestige of Harvard is the asset that was paid for.

There are a lot of companies around here started by Stanford and/or Cal dropouts and grads that did an awesome job of networking and seizing an opportunity.

Money talks and BS walks.

Like I said.

A very happy and healthy new day to all!

Kinda gloomy and rainy here today.

Student debt is a real issue for a lot of people, this is like salt in the wound.

Maybe a good penalty for all these people would be to pay a SUBSTANTIAL amount to reducing student debt. Like, enough money to really hurt.

My grand daughter's student loans total enough to buy a decent house around here. That was acquired before she had even worked one day.
Of course that's the loans, not what it cost for the education. In other words what she owes not what her parents spent over 6 years.
The first 4 years was at a state university (BSU). The next 2 years was at Tulane in NOLA. The post grad cost as much as the first 4 years.

What's something I can do since I haven't posted here in a while?

 

[UkuleleHill]

Thinking.... A lot....

 

[UkuleleHill]

I can't remember what the number is?

 

[UkuleleHill]

Is it 5 posts in a row?

 

[UkuleleHill]

Maybe it's 6?

 

[UkuleleHill]

I mean if I kept going who knows...

 

[UkuleleHill]

But if I keep going I know I can hit it!

 

[UkuleleHill]

I know it's not 8

 

[UkuleleHill]

And it's for sure not 9... That would be silly!

 

[UkuleleHill]

So I am going to guess it's 10! Streaking!!!

If you truly can't remember these things then maybe it's time for you to either a) turn in your PoHo card or b) GET BACK TO POSTING!

Yes, that's always the argument in favor of them. And elite schools foster the image that they will make you great and powerful, and that you need their name, networks, and contacts, etc. to succeed. And people do that, and use it to their advantage.

The problem is that plenty of people regularly show that you can become successful without their help.

Joe Montana and Phil Mickelson are two sports world names that have been implicated. Both of them said all they did was hire the consulting firm of the guy at the center and that they received minimal advice from the company.
