You are obsessed with schools. Most people forget that within a year of working.
Many lawyers making millions are from second tier law schools.
In computer science, Jeff Dean went to the university of minnesota.
- JustExAWS 1y agoSo you can show an anecdote. But look at the colleges where almost all of the lawyers of the top tier law firms attended, where new grads who are hired at BigTech etc. Or you can look at the median earnings of CS graduates who graduated from the top colleges vs 2nd tier colleges after 5 years.
- danielmarkbruce 1y agoWhite shoe law firms aren't the only places people are making millions. I deal with lawyers making millions at law firms you never heard of and never will hear of. Why look at the median? This kid seems like he's far and away above the median. There is a correlation between best school and best performers, but big tech as an example does their own recruiting and at least in my experience at google, most engineers did not attend one of the very top schools. My team had an engineer who never ever graduated college. Drop the obsession with prestigious schools and workplaces. Plenty of people are making a very handsome living without the badges from the best places.
