<p>Treetopleaf, you may have misinterpreted my statement. Most employers want people who can problem-solve quickly on the job and in return make the company profitable/successful. However, your example illustrated that even the most educated college graduates from prestigious schools don’t necessarily have the experience to do well on the job. </p>
<p>For example, let’s say a business has to choose between two people with similar majors: 1) kid from non-so-prestigious name school + previous experience with programming or 2) kid from prestigious school but lacks experience with programming. Who do you think the company will hire most of the time?? Answer: 1.</p>
