doesn't make the person. It simply means that is where they went to school and what they graduated with.
It says absolutely nothing about ones capability. It may assure potential....assuming the person knows or wants to use it.

I made it a practice in industry to NEVER overlook the non pedigreed candidates.
What tended to be the ultimate sorter was accomplishments. The pedigree in and of itself is just one parameter to help in the decision making process.
It certainly never was the deciding factor to me...I will take the intuitive genius every time over a multi lettered scholar....but that is me.
