I’m an MIT grad, and it irritates me no end the elitist attitude of so many on this board. I’ve worked with plenty of “mere” state-school grads that can run my butt into the ground in many areas.

“Prestige degrees” may be important in high-profile careers like politics…but in technically-oriented positions, it really matters very little. And I speak from years of experience in that regard.
