How important is a big-name school for fresh grads?
- by Fishtoaster
How important, if at all, is what school you go to towards your job prospects coming out of college? That is, how much difference is there between how a graduate of MIT/Stanford/etc treated vs RIT vs Monroe Community College vs Joe's Discount Diploma shop?
I'm asking specifically outside of the education itself, and more towards the perceived value of your degree to prospective employers. What do you think?
