In the overall scheme of things, someone from SJ State who gets hired at Google is still doing better than most of the people out there regardless of school or major. Who cares if you're not in the Stanford/CMU/etc clique.

True but that guy probably got hired to shuffle data around, work on build systems, or A/B test the color of a button on a web page. He's not writing google's predictive advertising algorithms.

If you think that the University that you attended determines your job for the rest of your life, you deserve your fate.

I don't, I'm just saying a huge majority of elite high paying jobs are filled by top ten degrees.
