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.
