I don't see Telferner Tech?
Guess I qualify if the top 15 of that list is good enough
Never ran into an instance that what college I went to really mattered, tbh. Might have helped some of my resumes when I was starting out, I guess.

Ivy League of Mexican cuisine is in San Antonio.
I don't love a lot about SA, but the Mexican food is second to none there. Better than California, Arizona, anywhere up north, Dixie, Houston, or whitewashed-ass-Dallas.
Protip:
-Chips and salsa is MEXICAN food.
-Chips and queso is white American food that whites try to pass off as Mexican.
You're an imbecile
agreed with this. tbh I'm training a couple of new engineers in my field that we just hired right now, and one of them went to a good school but can't seem to wipe his own ass without me showing him the mechanics . Dude just came from a rich family who stuffed him in a billion AP classes from the time he was 9 years old. He can probably rattle off some of the elements on the periodic table, but literally needs help opening up a package from FedEx. whereas the other guy is an army vet, only one year older, only community college under his belt, and is running laps around him. I barely need to tell him anything before he's already finished one assignment and asking me what else he can do
wouldn't surprise me if the "elite college" guy got fired sometime in the next few months
helps with first job tbh. if you're any good at your job, it shouldn't hold you back past that imoGuess I qualify if the top 15 of that list is good enough

I'd figure, seeing Harvard pops out but if you score any internships that's going to weigh more I figure. Had a few years of paid internship and that probably helped a lot more.
yeah, school is overrated, and it's something you can easily lie about on a resume if you're in a high demand career like tech. Work experience is harder to lie about and even if you do it really shows up hard when you actually get the job.agreed with this. tbh I'm training a couple of new engineers in my field that we just hired right now, and one of them went to a good school but can't seem to wipe his own ass without me showing him the mechanics .

Work experience >>>>>>> school. School especially university is a big scamjob. It's only good for college football and easy pussy.
yeah that's the field I'm in, and it's really just about articulating the specific skills/projects you've been involved in or lead. it's too specialized to get in just with a nice looking diploma. For other fields though, like spurraider said a good school will definitely get you a foot in the door for jobs that aren't as specialized
Yeah well that can be absolute BS.
In Science you go to school and ask to work with a professor after doing well in his/her class and don’t worry about a “no room for you”. You keep doing this and you keep meeting new people with new ideas. You learn new techniques from different labs in your area. (Yes, even as an UG) You need to know PEOPLE and you need to know your . If you don’t have the background for jobs dealing with the forefront of a scienceor a technology, you will get exposed and you will be embarrassed. I will add it helps to be good all the sciences form Physics all the way to the most complex, Biology. With Chemistry sandwiched between.
And of course there are very valuable people who can’t use a nail gun or solder.
But you would like them to be able to.
If you have a bachelor's degree and no work experience... you get an "entry level software developer" campus program job where they hold your hand for awhile and pay you entry level salary, $70k/year in DFW.
If you spent those 4 years working instead with an actual employer in lieu of the degree... you get immediately onboarded to a project and you're easily making $90-100k salary or more and you have money saved up from your previous 4 years of employment instead of student loan debt.
The Indian recruiters/staffers who call you don't give a damn about education. All they care about is "years of work experience". The first question they ask after they tell you the implementation partner, end client, location and target salary of the job is how many years of work experience do you have in career field X (for example, java development). They'll never ask you about where you went to school or if you even have a degree at all because they just don't give a damn, and why would they? The way computer programming/IT is taught academically is galaxies apart from the real tech world in the office. If anything I'd see the degree as a negative for that reason IMO.
The academic far-left who can't do a damn thing practical, zero motor skills, can't change the AC filter much less fix a fence, zero actual money-making career ambition etc. are pathetic. Sure you NEED education for some things like health professional school including medical school. But something like business analytics, java developers, front end developers, database developers, data scientists? You can learn that in high school or on the side when going to high school. Get a job doing that straight out of high school, forego college, make solid money while your friends are going balls deep in debt for a piece of shiny piece of paper. Get your own apartment and visit your friends at their dorms and frat houses and drink their beer on their dime. Save that money and buy a house with cash (no mortgage) before you're 25. Livin' the life.
Yeah.
Sure.
Academic left that work for Universities, are the movers of a business, and event a new technology.
Ghastly for you that they actually exist. You see some English Professor who is the leading authority on 60s Science Fiction. There are people of all political stripes that can’t work with electricity or a pneumatic jack hammer.
not necessarily talking about those types. I'll never scoff at someone for not knowing a menial task, that's just Dunning-Kruger coping...I do get annoyed at the (usually recent) college grads who don't have that "figure it out for myself" thought process. They need a professor to give them the lecture for them to regurgitate word for word, and then need their employer to tell them how to do literally everything consistently. The ones who are in perpetual "training" mode. Those people are useless
What employer? Fast food?
Natural selection says hi.
Or have daddy give you millions. Give you a start and allow you to “learn” from huge mistakes.
Academic left usually don't do business. They shun them.
Those English professor types are almost 100 percent left wing, tbh.
BS
They spawn business in science.
Somebody got to do basic research that leaks into technology.
You don’t realize the very tight coexistence of academics and businesses.
Geologists keep you in your car.
And then want to tax, tax, tax and regulate, regulate, regulate and propose nazi like policies.
Hypocritical.
"Green New Deal" ?
Seems strangely familiar.
I am appalled that this thread, which is supposed to be an enclave for the educated elite, has been taken over by riff-raff from third-tier universities.
meh, there's many corporate jobs out there where you can get away with this for years on end. Or basically forever until it's time for layoffs and you're the first to go. , there's a lot of corporate jobs out there where certain employees can just roll over and die and productivity wouldn't take a hit at all
Now he'll be promoted to manager because he won't be a loss at the level he's at now. Then they'll introduce him as manager with some email with his background and education listed in there to impress people who don't know him and likely will never actually meet him.agreed with this. tbh I'm training a couple of new engineers in my field that we just hired right now, and one of them went to a good school but can't seem to wipe his own ass without me showing him the mechanics .
