>>	Anonymous Wed Jan 11 13:11:35 2017 No.8594658 >>8594655 It's a meme. Top tier schools have good employment stats because they attract good students. Not because of reputation

>>	Anonymous Wed Jan 11 13:14:15 2017 No.8594661 >>8594658 Yeah, but I'm more likely to get employed with "Oxford" on my CV (résumé if you're Murican) than, say, Durham.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jan 11 13:16:16 2017 No.8594664 >>8594661 Doesn't matter though. Finding a job isn't hard anyway. What's hard is moving up in your jobs. And when they're considering promotions, obviously your uni doesn't even enter into it.
