Academics is the least important thing to me. It's like having an "A+" certification - it doesn't mean a damn thing in terms of how smart you are or what you are truly capable of.
- blasdel 17y agoYou're right in that the credential doesn't mean much. But what the candidate describes having done in academia is enormously expository -- what research did they do? with whom? did they publish? did they attempt substantial development projects? with a group of people? did they have jobs? did they teach?
- abyssknight 17y agoI know this is sort of frowned upon, but education is an important factor. Perhaps not in how smart someone is, but rather how dedicated they are. Granted, a start up sale or failure can show the same thing.
