Is there a point to Top-Tier colleges?

<p>Some will say that colleges don’t mean that much job employers, and when it comes down to it, it won’t be the college that makes the difference. I disagree. Think of it this way. You have a guy that graduated from say Carnegie Mellon and another from Rutgers. Who will give the better first impression? Obviously the guy from Carnegie Mellon. So basically for the rest of the time he’s looking through your application, he’s already in favor of the guy from Carnegie Mellon.</p>

<p>The education you get is also very vital. Obviously it’s what you make of it, and I don’t know the specifics from college to college but a guy from a top tier college will get better education and more connections than a guy at a huge state university.</p>
