People who graduate from a first rate (prestigious) school gain access
to a vast network of peer acquaintances and referrals however. That
can be priceless.



I understand but the average Joe in the workforce is not going to
benefit in that way. Most companies really don't care what school you
went to as long as your education meets the job requirements and you
have the knowledge and skill sets.

He wasn't talking about the average joe, and he wasn't talking about
"job requirements", he was talking about the "good old boys network" you
become a part of if your parents can afford to send you to one of the
more "prestigious schools"...
