🚨 ARE ELITE COLLEGE DEGREES LOSING THEIR EDGE?
Some employers are finally rethinking their obsession with elite colleges.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Ivy League degrees might even be a red flag—because who needs privilege on autopilot?
A Nature study shows grads from 34 top schools dominate leadership roles, thanks to cushy first jobs at places like McKinsey and Goldman Sachs.
These schools?
Packed with the ultra-rich, admitting more students from the top 1% than the bottom 60%. Meritocracy?
Sure, if it comes with a trust fund.
The fix?
Skip the fancy degree and hire for actual talent.
Turns out brilliance doesn’t require a $300K diploma.
