The CEO of Microsoft has done his graduation from a hackshaw college in India and still has done better than most Ivy guys.My point is that being in a hackshaw college for 3-4 years of your life may not end your career prospects.There is always an option to do a masters from Ivy league (like CEO of Microsoft did).Even after having a hackshaw graduate degree if some one can do CPA/ACCA/CA etc kind of courses then perhaps no one will care about the hackshaw undergrad.In India if some one has done Indian CA then no one cares about their undergrad since accounting industry values CPA/ACCA/CA more than any IVY undergrad.
However in finance an IVY Grad+CFA/FRM may have a lead over Non Ivy+CFA/FRM initially but after few years only performance on the job will count.
Personally i have done my grad and post grad from a decent ranked colleges in India(however they may be considered hackshaw by some as per US/UK standards.).I am doing well in my life with a decent job in a MNC.
Even Google does not care about hiring IVY guys.I am sharing an article to prove my point.
Only recent grads with small penises and flabby abs would worry about this. Top colleges don’t get you successful careers. Rather, success-oriented people are drawn to top colleges. Nobody really gives a crap once you’re a few years out of college, anyway.
Nope nope nope RR. You know I got nothing but love for you and your 10 pack abs, no homo, but you either go to a Top 2 school or you take a rusty hacksaw to your sack.
Anyone who is not on the 50th floor of a NYC BSD BB Firm is a total loser. That doctor that does not have a top 2 MD and CFA who took a sabbatical in Rawanda to help malnurished children is a loser. That widow who went to U of P for an online law degree to represent low income battered women is a failure as she did not get into a Top 10 JD program and complete the CFA. People like Michael Dell are total losers as they didn’t complete their rusty hacksaw educational program and went on to brown IT fields outside of Top 2 MBA & 3/3 CFA Finance. There is a reason the 1%ers of NYC were singled out by Occupy. They are hated for being God’s chosen ones allocating assets across industries, sectors, and securities moving markets with the swift motion of their mouse. This is what it is RR.

I really look upto you and Greenman as both of you are perhaps not from top 10 colleges in the world but still both of you have done great in your life…
You have supported my points very well sir.A Hackshaw undergrad always has a chance to do CFA/CPA or IVY masters later in their life.However if some one follows up a hackshaw undergrad with an equally hackshaw post grad then he is basically dead.
