It's France, showing off the elitist school you went to is important, even years after graduating.
- hypeibole 15y agoWhat do you mean France?
- Timothee 14y agoThe school (i.e. ENS Lyon), honestly I understand that it's there, but the high school and prep school? Probably not necessary. (even if it's Louis Legrand… :) ) To be fair with France, I would be surprised if Stanford grads don't mention it on their resumes even years after their graduated. And to be fair with French schools, it seems to me that they're overall less elitists than US colleges, especially by the simple fact that they don't cost $20-50k a year. (thinking of colleges like Stanford, not State universities) The job market after graduation is certainly elitist in the sense that grads from the better schools will often be preferred just because of their diploma, but the schools themselves are for the most part open to anybody who can rank well at the exams. (disclosure: I'm from one of these "elite schools", but I certainly don't get to "enjoy" it as much because I live in the US. Meaning I doubt employers have any idea what school this is)
