Hi, I am a school graduate, ready to go to university. Of late many people have been telling me that the undergraduate degree is in fact not really that important as it is overshadowed by ones post graduate degree. They say that ultimately what people look at is your post graduation and where you did that from and what etc etc. How much of this is true? Does undergraduate degree not hold importance after a post graduate degree?
