Funny, the article and these comments seem to miss the point. Credentials for what? If the job requires execution of a known process – automotive repair or neurosurgery I’d want to make sure I’d hire someone who went to the school that had the best experiential training (i.e. residency with lots of hands-on training.) If the job requires knowledge of specialized science or engineering computations, I’d select students that have gone through a rigorous curriculum in these subjects. However, if the job requires creative thinking and searching for unknowns, it’s not clear that a brand name school adds any value. I’d be looking for individuals that are curious, agile, relentless, etc.
