<p>Regular people might get them confused as we all do, but employers certainly know the difference</p>
<p>No, they don’t. They don’t care. These are trivial differences once you reach a certain level of overall quality, what I like to think of as a critical mass of educational quality.</p>
<p>Even then this is very debatable.</p>
<p>“Regular people might get them confused as we all do, but employers certainly know the difference”</p>
<p>Employers are much more interested in the personal accomplishments of prospective employees then they are in placing weight in some hard-to-determine institutional value.</p>
<p>College students will ultimately compete for jobs and careers based on what they have done much more so than where they did it. As an employer, I hire individuals not alma maters.</p>
<p>For engineering, employers know the difference. For most other things, there is no difference really lol.</p>
