<p>Yes, but here are a couple items I pulled out:</p>
<p>“Busteed points out that many top companies still hire from a narrow set of institutions. But the survey points to a greater emphasis on hiring people with specific skills.”</p>
<p>“School rankings have been found to matter when it comes to pay, an effect which rises over time. Graduates of elite private schools in particular get paid more according to a report from the Century Foundation (pdf).”</p>
<p>The survey doesn’t concentrate on positions for new college graduates but all position hires. The results will be different if the question focused on on new college grads and would be vastly different if it focused on some specific orgs such as bulge bracket banks, high end consulting and top end techs (Google, Facebook, etc.)</p>
<p>So it somewhat depends on where your aspirations are for a 1st “real job”. Certainly, positions demanding experience will put less focus on the school. True in all industries.</p>
