This is not a study. It's also especially susceptible to confirmation bias.
Also, my friend went to a name-brand school and he did not experience any of the listed so-called advantages for which he was applicable. Clearly the article is only a celebration of the author's ego since he fails to cite the number one professional advantage from attending a name-brand school: receiving a world-class education, and becoming more intelligent than coworkers.
- unalone 17y agoThat's some confirmation bias too: You assume name-brand schools have better education than non-name-brand schools.
