If extraordinary people don’t need a resume, should they go to a R1 school?
Today I examine an extension of Seth’s recent blog post…
This guy (http://www.computerforensicsworld.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=2765#2765) writes about R1 universities shafting undergrads. If you’re extraordinary enough that you don’t use resumes, why would you go to a large public university?
You don’t need the stamp of approval from the university. Why not go to a smaller, undergrad-oriented university, and connect with the few other extraordinary individuals who took the same risk? Looking at it this way, attending a large public university is a method of signaling that you’re not extraordinary (or lack guts) because you wouldn’t risk a approval stamp for a better education. (The PMBA is based off of similar ideas.)
