Can you get a good education at a non-flagship state school?

Uh, no, not at all. As one example, major corporations are rife with office politics; many people enjoy successful corporate careers do so simply because they are savvy office politicians. Similarly, major corporations are also rife with cronyism. If you happen to be friends or relatives of a top corporate officer, you will probably be successful at that corporation.

Not to make an overtly political point, but the fact is, George W. Bush became Managing Partner of the Texas Rangers simply because his father was President of the United States at the time. It’s not as if he had been well-educated: he himself jokes about his wayward college years.



sure, you have pointed out all the deficiencies of a major corp management style, however. on the flip side, do you mean all those ppl never got advanced are better educated and all the upper managements do not have good judgement to select their middle management? Do you imply that interlectuals don’t excel in the major corps? Only those ass kissers got their way?

I think the reality is far cry from that, sure, there are bad apples but majority of the middle americans are well educated and being rewarded as such.
