Re: University of Phoenix
Posted by Joeblow in a Benz on 11/12/06

    Name goes a long way, but what's in a name? If you're
    concerned about image, get out of Phoenix. If you're
    job/career doesn't care, neither should you. Some companies
    absolutely need to show off their staff and will therefore
    hire the top name grads to dangle around like a dad proud of
    her daughter. The exact same company within a different
    department, say logistics, won't care a lick where you went
    to school so long as you're qualified, certified, and pass
    the drug test.

    I have a B.A. degree from a prestigious university already,
    so I do not need a prestigious MBA, for example. (which I'm
    shopping for). I already "joined the snob club" with the BA,
    so a Phoenix MBA would do me just fine. As a manager with
    some hiring authority, I see no problem with Phoenix grads,
    but I won't hire them solely because they went to Phoenix or
    Duke, etc..I'll hire them for their skills and experience
    and how much get along with the teams and contribute to the
    company. Hope this helps and good luck to all
