um yes it does matterOriginally Posted by forwardlean
random fact, the school you go to doesn't matter. Unless your a douche bag...then it matters a lot.

good response.
Here's why it doesn't matter. You take, say, some bull %%+$ major at a good school like Western. Lets say, Western Philosophy. What are your options? More school? Then get a job at that school...putting books away in the library. You could do an aerospace major at Ryerson and work at NASA (a friend of mine did this in fact). I've been out of school for a while (I went to a very good one thinking the same thing you kids do) and I can tell you it means sweet *@%# all to a person hiring you for a paying job.

Probably the same genetic defect that causes one to think this season is somehow a "comeback" for the Raptors. But then you have that homophobia deal too...so I'm not the right person to ask. If you want to participate in an adult conversation, please, feel free to do so in the appropriate fashion.Originally Posted by BrOwNiN187

I will respond to the wife beating baseball players comments now...they're intelligent.
I think you're looking at it just on the surface. I don't know where you are at this point in your careers, but I happen to work for a very large company (and have done for a while) that hires very educated people (from very difficult disciplines like biochemistry, physics, molecular biology etc). I can tell you, without hesitation, that no one really cares where you went to school. I think your example is correct in theory, but you're eliminating the factor of the individual. Where it would matter is from a networking perspective. Everyone in my division came out of some research lab at a Canadian University. It gets to be a small world at this point and generally everyone knows the big players at major schools. That matters, but certainly no one has got a job based solely on where they went to school.
I'm assuming BrOwNiN and Elijah are still in school?
I work for a high-tech company as a consultant for scientific imaging equipment. We sell directly to researchers in the university/government sectors. We are people with excellent business acumen and a very strong technical background from an applications perspective.Originally Posted by ElijahDukes

yes i'm still in my undergrad, at U of T, but I don't let that be the reason why I think reputation matters. Can I ask what type of company you work for?
I've had a fair amount of work experience in a variety of fields, including a co-op term at the reputable Investment Firm of Raymond James, and the people working there said it's better off going to a good school because it does matter. I've had a lawyer tell me the same when I mentioned York or U of T. It's not bums telling me this info, it's people with respectable careers. So i'm basing my argument off what they have mentioned as well. There's a reason why Schulich is very reputable for business. U of T & Waterloo for engineering. the best programs are offered in those schools for their respective fields, hence, better graduates.

my conclusion after reading your latest reply is: going to a good school does not hurt, it will either benefit you or just be a neutral factor.
Which in the end, it's generally better to aim high and go to a reputable school.
and for the record, i have never heard GPA being a factor in being hired... can you add some insight into this?
