college things (-_-)

Well I wouldn't say this is the best persuasive college debate,but it made a whole lot of sense to me.It's called Merit and Race.He basically explained that we(minorities) should especially join elite colleges/universities because if we go out and apply for job it would look great on our resume because sadly theres still a lot of racial profiling and racism in this world. If theres a choice between a Mexican who knows 2 languages and went to laney and a white person who also speaks two languages too and went to stanford they are most likely to choose the white person. But in other cases jobs pick you for the wrong reasons not because your good at what you do but because they want to show off to the world that there are people of color here and they want to attract them.You need to have something on your resume that sets you aside from the rest of the people who are also applying and I think an Elite school is definitely it.
I lightweight disagree with "Graduate School Matters More" because he's just spreading non-sense. I don't think that if you know exactly what you want to be it will get you into school more easily. You can say you know but that can change very easily within time. That's why you go to these schools to explore what you want to become. Also,i get that money can be an issue but you can get loans and as they say you got to spend money to make money.
