Ivy League vs State School

When there comes a time to pick a school to  continue your education I am more than sure that you start imagining yourself being a student of Harvard or Yale University. These are the schools that everybody knows. Everyone dreams to get into it and then for sure your life will turn into a dream and money will fall from the sky

This is the most common picture that a person might imagine when being asked about these schools. Is it really so? And what about those who are not "the ones" to enter an elite private club? Are they doomed for the rest of their life?

How to be a Career Superhero


Just 20-30 years ago people used to get Bachelor’s Degree only and they were already considered as extremely strong potential job candidates. They got some job in the company and then even when being promoted they stayed within this company and demonstrated their loyalty that in a couple of years  was awarded with some bonuses.

Today getting a bachelor’s degree is not any incredible  achievement as it could be 20 years ago and you wouldn’t  surprise your potential employer by just showing your diploma ( no matter how hard it was for you to earn it). And at the same time it becomes harder and harder to find employees (especially young professionals) who stay in one company for more than 4-5 years.
