[quote=pedrocon]I’m sure the upper managers at Lame men have more money than me although I’m doing just fine thank you. I’m not talking about them personally, but their performance running Lame men. If you were a shareholder of Lame men you’d probably be pretty unimpressed with their performance. Pretty pathetic job for these over educated incompetents. Maybe they should hire some 23 year old guy with an associates degree. I mean how much worse could he really do? I think their stock is down like 85%. [/quote]

It sounds like there is disdain over folks that went to a top school. I think there is a fact check here. While there are definitely exceptions to the rule, I’m willing to but money that if you compare the average “over educated incompetents” from these top schools and compare this to the average graduates from a shit school or no school, you’ll see a significant difference in either achievement or whatnot. Not all cases, because obviously it is possible in america to be completely no college educated and still be successful or to be a Harvard flunkout and be directionless in life. But on average, I’d say you’ll find the difference in what opportunities are available and not. I don’t think, for instance, you’ll find many folks with an econ degree from University of Phoenix working in the private equity group of some of these institutions.

Same rule even applies to enginerds. There are shit programmers and real software engineers, and while there are some great software engineers and architects that don’t have college degrees, most of the really good ones do and usually from a relatively good school (and for engineering, that range of “good schools is large”) I won’t digress into what I think is good or bad…I know it when i see the candidates.
