On the flip side, I knew a software engineer at a major Aerospace company. Nice enough guy, but kind of a flake who didn’t really have it together. After I while, I found out he graduated from Princeton, which really kinda of surprised me. He did not come off as I would have expected a Princeton grad to act. In his case anyway, an Ivy league education did him less good ‘cause people were frequently underwhelmed when they found out his pedigree.
RBG81,
Yeah, I don’t doubt it. Just going to an Ivy League college will not solve all your problems. However, to give a contrarian point of view, I bet the only reason that guy keeps getting jobs is because of his degree. That guy, with any other degree, would not be able to land decent jobs or hold them.
Again, I know this sounds horribly unfair. But life is a bitch and a horribly unfair one at that
