Because employers love credentialism and can discriminate based on college.

Your ability to break into the highest levels of many fields depends on that Harvard degree vs a public or 2nd tier private school.

What’s stopping you from making a groundbreaking company of your own and becoming an employer yourself? Employers can hire who they want and if Harvard’s selection of candidates does not meet their standards, you can be sure that employers are going to stop hiring from Harvard.

Nothing. I can’t afford Ivy League people, 90% of the people we fire are from public colleges.
