- paulie_a 8y agoI honestly don't even care if they went to college. "Top tier" is meaningless outside of snobbery. I honestly don't care where you graduated from 2 years ago or ten years ago. It simply doesn't impress me.
- make3 8y agoI think that's ready to say, but getting into MIT, CMU or Stanford requires pretty heavy academic achievement. I myself went to a Canadian University (so fairly unknown to people in the US), so I'm not trying to defend my honor it something by saying that
- recursive 8y agoI am also one of the only ones.
- commandlinefan 8y agoYeah, same here - as much as it pains me to admit it, I'm pretty impressed when I see that somebody graduated from MIT or CMU. And, honestly, when I've worked with people who did graduate from "top" schools, they were smarter than I was/am (but on the plus side, I got to learn a lot from them). On the plus side, there aren't that many of them, and there are lots of jobs for the rest of us.
- sodafountan 8y agoI couldn't care less about your GPA or what school you went to, some of the best people I know never attended school at all.
- imsofuture 8y agoYep. Some of the best people I know either didn't graduate, or graduated in fields more or less entirely unrelated to what they do.
- commandlinefan 8y agoWell, unless you're leaving something out, you just said that the less education a person has, the more capable they are - so, reductio ad absurdum, the most capable people in the world are middle-school drop-outs. But I suspect you're trying to suggest that education and competence are completely uncorrelated (which is a claim that would be hard to back up, incidentally) and that "something else" is an indicator of competence/intelligence/capability, but you're not specifying what you think that is.
