I can’t believe that a Harvard grad can’t string a sentence together unless it’s written down and projected in letters 2 feet high.

Oh, I sure can. Ivy League schools are among the most overrated institutions on the planet.

In fact, in my line of work my standard practice is to discard resumes from Ivy League grads looking for positions in my firm. I've never met one who impressed me, which is comical when you consider how much it costs to attend those places.

That’s very interesting.

It is more about networking than education. You hire me; I hire your cousin; I leave and hire you; and on and on.

We call them *flatliners* - which means they are equipped with blinders for the duration of their education. Listening only to what they are told, reading only what is required and studying for tests only in order to get a grade.

They cannot think creatively, solve problems, or increase knowlege. They follow the frat flat line, believing they have studied and memorized all they will ever need in business or life.

They do make some interesting, life-long personal connections, however.

Harvard, and the Ivy League is a very exclusive club. The dues are expensive.

My friend visited the Harvard campus recently with her kids, just to show them the campus. She said she saw no white students and the Muslim call to prayer was ringing or whatever it does- throughout the campus. Doesn’t sound like much of an American college to me anymore.
