So-Called "No Name" Colleges

Wow, sorry, but the above statement is misguided on so many levels. It implies that anyone attending a non-top 50 college has no hope to ever get ahead in life. To any student reading post 1, please disregard it. I went to a no name college. I have travelled all over the world. I live in a nice house in the suburbs of a major American city. I have a job I enjoy. I have friends, kids, family, pets, and no complaints.

If the person mentioned in @Formation 's post above got hired above the “Ivy league” candidiates applying to Abercrombie and Fitch, then I would say the problem lies with those kids, not the girl who ONLY got hired because of her modeling job. Many companies hire people because they happen to like them and can see that they have the skills to do the job. Personally, I will hire a nice person that I think will get along with others, from No Name U, over Ivy League Snob any day. And that isn’t saying Ivy League students are snobs. It’s saying that maybe some companies only hire based on name recognition, but I am quite confident that Abercrombie isn’t one of them, and neither are most other companies in the country.

Plenty of rich and famous people went to colleges you haven’t heard of: Walt Disney, Morgan Freeman, Steve Jobs, Queen Latifah, Terri Hatcher, Clint Eastwood, George Clooney, and many others. Getying jobs and making a career depends more on the kind of person you are rather than the college you attend.
