Quote:I think you just have a hard time accepting us disagreeing. Simple as that. 

 

So if a Harvard grad demands to be paid a yearly salary 200k, a UF grad 150k, and a FSU grad 125k, but the FSU grad interviews better and seems like a more qualified candidate (fit) with the company,and more articulate and is able to adjust in the work environment, who do you go with?

 

Its more than just the school you graduated from.

 

I know people who are OVER-educated with BA's and Master degrees and are just retail store managers or low level IT programmers. You want to know why? because they dont have the interpersonal skills to match in the job market today.

 

Just because someone (not all) has a degree from an ivy league school dose not equate them to being potentially the hard worker, that someone from a smaller university/school can become, or is what the company is looking for.

 

Where did I once insinuate that the school was the only factor?  You can spin it however you want.

 

There are jobs at the company I work at that flew in ivy league grads from all over the country simply based on the school they went to.  Local graduates were not even considered.  The fact of the matter is, the school matters in many cases. 

 

You can deflect and keep walking around the facts further though.
