School question (1 Viewer)

Incidentally, if you're worried about networking, in my experience any benefit of a school connection evaporates within ten seconds of starting a career and after that it depends on your professional reputation among those you work with. Noone is going to waste their own money on an incompetent old school chum.

I dunno about that, all the top brass in my place are rugger buggers, from two or three specific schools. That's a sport thing, though, as much as a school thing I guess.

No, but if you know someone reasonably capable from school who's working in some field and you need some work done in that particular field, likelihood is you'll ring them up rather than searching round a bunch of people you've never met

I haven't spent that past 13 years of my life trying to outrun my past so I can joe schmoo who sat behind me in french class a break. Screw that guy!
