According to the Wall Street Journal...
No sooner did we post our tome on getting kids (and their parents) to stop thinking about the same ten schools to attend (that was Sunday), then the Wall Street Journal (something a lot of parents read) decides to look at where CEOs of the 50 biggest public companies went to school.
Don't be surprised when you read Carol Hymowitz's article (link here).
Also great to see Warren Buffet's alma mater listed -- it's the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Happened to be a U Sphere "College of the Day" over the weekend.

It was really refreshing to read that WSJ story, and then even more fun to read the column that followed it, with people defending unto the death the need to attend and graduate from an Ivy League. The underlying assumption was that you couldn't "succeed" in life without a degree from such a place. What a narrow definition of success...It can't be that ALL the rest of us who went to state schools (and I'll shout out here to my school, the mighty California State University Northridge, or my husband's alma mater, Northern Illinois University) are failures! I don't feel like a failure. Maybe I am, and I just don't know it.
