You'd be surprised at the number of graduates doing simply ordinary or mediocre things. Not that there is anything wrong with that - not my point. Just that the halo is often the best thing that someone is left with years after graduating.
Now if someone were to say that a Harvard Business School grad came back home to try and help their small family business I might think the statement is more appropriate. But at the level where you get a job like this not as much so.
[1] And I went to one of those 'good schools' (Not that one but in the same category let's say).

- gist 9y agoThe halo 'the branding' of the school is very often more powerful than what you actually learn there. Maybe similar to getting an academy award is better than whatever money you might make from getting an academy award (or a nomination). The branding and the halo of that degree opens up doors and generally tends to lead to positive acceptance in a wide variety of situations.
