Hay y'all I done got a turrible edumacation at a sub-100 school...but I sho does read good. Seriously, I can't Imagine where you developed the mindset that rankings translate to success and accomplishment. It's great that you were able to achieve a degree (especially at a graduate level), but you clearly missed out. What one learns in the classroom is only a fraction of the knowledge that can be gained in the collegiate setting. People skills (such as not sounding like a pompous a-hole), and an open mindset are things that grounded individuals can gain from higher education. Learning to think for yourself is another. Clearly you skipped that day of class. In the future I wouldn't cite FORBES magazine as a source of support. Blanket ratings are seldom accurate. Another thing that you should have learned, is that a "name brand school" may get you an interview, but you have to be able to prove your own value to an organization.For people who fancy themselves members of the educated aristocracy, you both have a tenuous grasp of of the English Language (Among other things). The degree itself is not a guarantee of success. The thirst for knowledge and self advancement however is.Note to PatrioticMarine: Your experience in the Marine Corps may have had some value to you, but it surely didn't bring a rounded view with it (based on the tone of your post). Being a United States Service Person doesn't isn't a status symbol. When you use your veteran status like a bragging right you cheapen the Brotherhood you belong to. You make up the Corps, it doesn't make you.Note to DreadHarn: I sincerely hope you are joking...   See 6 other replies

I was just blown away after reading what you "perceive" as being important. I'm 32 years old. I went to college at Fashion Institute of technology and graduated with a BA. At 32 years old ,I can Very hone, stly say it does not matter if you go to Community College or Columbia! What matters is that our country has fallen apart and hit rock bottom! Finding and keeping a job are all pure luck . No one will ever check to verify where you went to college, if you can play the game in an interview that will mean if you will get a job or not. I have no idea how old you are, or why you think what you think about top 100 schools? I also have no idea how you live under a rock and you can feel the country financially break around you all the while complaining like a spoiled 5 year old. homelessness is nothing to joke about. education is key and important but real "intelligence" to your surroundings is far important. Do you understand the world around you at all? Actually, please don't respond you gave me a massive headache with your whining....... Please open your eyes to the life around you. Watch "Vanguard" on hulu, the 3 episodes about the economy are all the truth!!! wake up!!!   See 6 other replies
