While I agree with you, the type of people looking to get into Harvard aren't just looking for a STEM job at a startup. They are looking to become CEOs, judges, politicians, etc. That sort of thing usually tends to value where you went. Not only for the credibility of the paper but the social networks you gain.
- bluefirebrand 4y ago> They are looking to become CEOs, judges, politicians, etc. Yeah, and their degrees don't matter to get those jobs either. I mean of course it matters, but it's still the same degree they could get elsewhere. The network of well connected powerful people they meet at Harvard is what enables them to become CEOs, judges, politicians, etc.
- RigelKentaurus 4y agoI wasn't talking about coding jobs. Even jobs in marketing or program management go to STEM students from "lesser" schools. I don't even look at sociology or language degrees anymore.
- jacobolus 4y agoWell that seems awfully discriminatory of you. Some of the best programmers I have ever met have sociology and language degrees.
