I don't think that my not going to an ivy league school hurt me.

I'm a college drop-out who barely graduated high school, went to community college and then a couple of years at an agricultural college before striking out into industry. I'm doing just fine.

I think the really hard work took place after I was employed.

I'm not impressed with whether someone went to Harvard or Stanford. I just look at resumes and what people have done. Schools are not a great signal.
