I was reading an article just the other day about school rankings and MBA's. The interesting thing was that in that lengthy article a representative from SmithKline PHARMACEUTICALS was consulted. The interesting part was that in that article the discussion was about how certain schools rank throughout the country and how their graduates were being sought out by high caliber corp America for this and that position. Near the middle of the article, this SmithKline rep was discussing several things but one applied directly to this discussion and I found it ironically close to what I had mentioned about a dozen times here.

This is a direct quote from a PHARMACEUTICALS person from SmithKline in regards to UNrealistic expectations:

"Some graduates haven't caught on that a very competitive and cost-conscious corporate America does not believe in an entitlement system," says Rolando Larino, a finance and procurement director at pharmaceuticals maker GlaxoSmithKline PLC. "Once a graduate is in the door at a major company, the past is forgotten and they will be judged by their future achievements, period, and not by perceived potential -- sort of like being a freshman again. A few never really adjust and become frustrated and leave companies in search of Neverland."

I guess this guy doesn't know anything just like me then, huh? Is HE not in the "field" either? Would what he is saying be totally false because it doesn't agree with you either?
