Hillsdale is not always a clear imprimatur. We hired a Hillsdale grad a few years ago knowing the curriculum and orientation. I was very disappointed at his level of critical thinking. Nice guy, but a lightweight. Alas Hillsdale is not well enough known yet to attract enough talented students (not great SATS yet) to make grads sure hires. The sad thing is that smart, ambitious and clear thinking grads from top schools are rare and need a little time to recover from the brain-washing they receive and look for at college.

Part of that is simply youth. I didn't know a darned thing when I graduated cum laude from an Ivy, a long, long time ago.

At least now I know that I don't know much. That's an improvement.

I have hired maybe 150 people for my various businesses. I blacklisted Harvard, and hired only 2 Wharton grads. Both of them fizzled. I had better luck with ex military who went to State U. They were fearless,loyal, and could swallow a heavy workload, bones and all!
