Agree, but like it or not, it matters. When you see names like Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Julliard, the reputation of the name has value in some fields. If a student can go, they should go. It doesn't guarantee success, but as much as I hate it, it still matters.I think geography plays a huge role in this concept. Downtown Minneapolis values are much different than Brainerd or Bismarck. A firm in Chicago would likely place a high value on a Harvard degree; most likely a firm in Rapid City would not.
So I would say that there are still situations where it doesn't matter. In other situations, it certainly does. This is probably highly variable based on the tint of your glasses!
