Good day all. Ten years ago, a television series called Suits came on the air. It was another show about lawyers. There was one subplot that ran through the series, they would only hire Harvard graduates. The idea was that they were considered the best and the brightest. How things have changed in the real world.
Today employers are rethinking hiring people who graduated from the Ivy League schools such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton and others. The reason? They see these graduates as unable to deal with the real world. Here are the details from Fox News:
A magazine editor explained on “Fox & Friends” Wednesday why he’s reconsidering whether to hire Ivy league graduates.
“I would just say that 10 years ago I would have seen that as a big positive on their resume and now I see it as a negative that they have to overcome in the interview because obviously there is going to be great kids all over in higher [education] at different schools,” said the editor of “First Things” magazine Rusty Reno.
Reno said back then, the negative tendencies of Ivy League graduates was that they had a “sense of entitlement” and “arrogance.”
“They want to write the lead editorial on day one rather than proofread. But, hey, you can work with that. Because it reflects positives, which are confidence and ambition. These are good things.” Reno said.
However, most of the worldviews of Ivy league graduates have changed over the years, Reno argued.
“Now, I’m seeing these young people that they have, to be frank, a kind of a distorted view of reality,” Reno said.
Mr. Reno didn’t write this for his magazine, he published it in the opinion pages of the Wall Street Journal. In the piece, he explains why he considers these spoiled brats who graduated from these elite schools not worth hiring.
Reno wrote, “In recent years, I’ve taken stock of my assumptions about who makes for the best entry-level employee. I have no doubt that Ivy League universities attract smart, talented and ambitious kids. But do these institutions add value?”
I’ll take No for $100 Alex.
“My answer is increasingly negative. Dysfunctional kids are coddled and encouraged to nurture grievances, while normal kids are attacked and educationally abused. Listening to Haverford’s all-college Zoom meeting also made it clear that today’s elite students aren’t going to schools led by courageous adults. Deprived of good role models, they’re less likely to mature into good leaders themselves.”
The Socialist Justice Warriors that come out of the Ivy League are the ones who think Antifa is a nice bunch of people and consider anyone who supports President Trump to be evil incarnate. They also have no idea who things actually work in the Real World, and are quick to try and force people to bend a knee to their world view. They tend to be rather shocked when people tell them to take a long walk of a short pier.
Reno said that Hillsdale College is at the “top of the list” for finding talent. Other “good sources” for talent are “large state universities” and “quirky small Catholic colleges” such as Thomas Aquinas College, Wyoming Catholic College and the University of Dallas.
These are schools that Ivy Leaguers not only look down on, they want them shut down since they encourage students to actually think for themselves and not worry of pronouns.
“How can you get work done if everybody is tiptoeing around the office worrying about triggering someone? And so I think that that’s a big change, I think in the last decade for me to sort of look at meet and interview students and go, wow, they have been damaged,” he said.
They’re damaged alright, and frankly, for most of them, fatally so. These are the ones that are quick to accuse people of every “ism” they can think of, and will not hesitate to destroy anyone that stands in their way. These are the leaders of the “Cancel Culture” that is running rampant through America.
“I think, in the circles I run in, this is a conversation that we have had. There is a kind of weird combination of arrogance and conformism in these kids and the conformism, that’s new. They acquiesce to the ‘woke culture’ and it’s what I call a spirit of surrender to the ‘wokeness.’”
It’s only going to get worse, not better. Years ago, and I’ve mentioned this in the past, I applied to and interviewed for a job at Harvard. (Part of the I.T. infrastructure). Obviously, (And thankfully), I didn’t get the job. I believe I wasn’t hired because I was an older white male heterosexual. Obviously, I can’t prove that, but I did meet the job’s technical requirements.
It’s just as well since I wouldn’t have lasted to long. I don’t suffer communists fools, progressives and wokey whiners, (But I am repeating myself), gladly and without a doubt, there would have come a point when I told some jackass off.
Frankly, the only way things are going to change is these woke meatheads somehow becoming sentient, realizing that they are in debt up to their eyeballs with a degree that is basically worthless. Then they need to sue the pants off these “schools” for fraud. It’s going to take the judicial looting of the 10’s of billions of dollars in the Ivy leagues endowments before they decide it’s time to clean things up.
The only way this will happen is if more managers like Mr. Reno continue to toss resumes from the Ivy League applicants, eventually it will sink into their thick heads, and it will ripple up into the ivy covered halls of academia. Until that happens, things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.
