Do one have to graduate from a Top 20 school in order to gurantee employment after graduation? I’m going to attend Mercer University for a B.S. in Computer Science and I do plan on going to graduate school. If I don’t go to graduate school, will I be frowned upon because I didn’t graduate from a top school?

Will it make it harder for me to get hired for jobs like Microsoft, Google, etc. (in case I want to work there in the future)? I heard from someone that if I want to apply for a job like Google, I need to graduate from a school like MIT or Stanford. That can’t be true, right?

This is a dumb question but I’m going to ask… will it affect my salary? Is it true that you get paid more if you went to schools like Harvard and Stanford than a lower-tier school?
