Have people considered that "credentials and connections" are actually a valuable signaling mechanism?

Absolutely. I see a Yale degree on a resume and it signals a whole host of future problems with an attitude of entitlement, salary expectations, and very probably Socialist political views. The Yale degree is thus a valuable signal that I should look elsewhere. :)

I don’t hire Ivy Leaguers. Connections? They mean daddy’s connections.

I Want hungry kids with a little bit of experience and a lot of heart that will go through walls to get the job done. Not some kid who thinks he is entitled to the job because he can read a text book better then another kid.
