Do We Really Need Higher Education?

…by the same token, I am concerned with an elitist attitude toward education in the nonprofit sector. I recently heard a recruiter at a job search firm say that the first two things a potential employer looks at on an applicant’s resume is where the applicant currently works and where s/he went to college. According to this recruiter, there is a natural instinct for people to look for others who may have grown up near them or went to a familiar college. My question is what happens if that applicant doesn’t have a college listed? Or when s/he attended a college that isn’t ‘prestigious’? Does their resume automatically get thrown in the trash?
