THe other day I had lunch with a guy I coached at Cornell who transferred in from a Big 10 school. He said, "Thank God, you helped me come to Cornell."
This guy is a real go-getter with his own startup that is funded by a billionaire now. He's still in his 20s and very accomplished.
I responded, "What the hell are you talking about?You would have been successful no matter where you graduated from."
He said, "THere is no way I would have got my banking job (He did banking for a year or two and then started his own startup) from ***(Big 10 school). I was ranked in the top 10 in my major but the banks just don't hire from there without an act of God."
I personally believe he'd have been successful no matter what but he says otherwise.
rojo, your definition of success is having a taxpayer financed trust fund, never wasting time learning grammar, spelling and arithamatic, and never having to work a day in a lifetime.
