. Don’t think posters here are addressing the difference between an elite/ivy vs other top schools. UNC, GW, etc are also top schools that will provide excellent resources, opportunities, networks, job fairs, etc for its students. I actually do think these “discussions” ARE about the difference between these type of schools vs “lower” schools (call them podunk, call them ttt for those who remember the old Princeton Review days, or what have you). No one is saying students can’t get a good education at most schools, and 100% agree that the bright, go-getters will do well wherever they go.
As for this
This warms my heart, as it says us old farts are still useful and marketable/hireable. Also agree with the points that with linkedin, etc, our histories do follow us. Whether it matters is another thing.
