(54,451 posts)Not all are useless, of course. I know one B.H. Obama who turned out rather well.
But these days, some of them come over to Europe, freshly hired, waving their Harvard Law degrees as if they were a free pass to heaven, thinking all should bow before their fancy diplomas instead of their abilities. My daughter, who has had a meteoric rise in a NY-based international law firm, is only 31 and looks younger, so they arrive from the States thinking they will show her a thing or two. She dresses them down for their poor written English (and that's not even her native language) and their sloppy work, and they leave her office either grumbling or in tears because she isn't impressed by their fancy diploma, only by good use of English and precise work--two things of which many of them do not seem capable.
It's not the diploma that counts, but rather the person behind it.

(115,920 posts)but regularly met and dealt with Harvard and Yale law grads who were quite convinced their poo didn't stink, at least compared to that of someone who didn't go to Harvard or Yale. But I showed them more than once that you could graduate from a law school other than Harvard and Yale and still find your way to the courthouse. Your school makes materials and information available to you but you still have to do the work and figure it out. I don't think those schools are any tougher than any other accredited school; you get out of your education what you put into it.

(54,451 posts)My daughter just made partner at her firm--second youngest ever!--and she'll be stomping on anyone who doesn't have the ability to do the work required, no matter how "prestigious" their diploma. The diploma won't be doing the work, will it?
