Which school are you from?

I am at work. Of all places, I shouldn't be updating my blog here. And definitely not this time of the day.


What the heck, I'm itching to blog.


It's weird. When there's so much to do that's usually the time when I'm so eager to update. I mean, like right now I'm supposed to be doing something work-related rather than writing an entry here.


Danielle, my classmate back in college, and the only person from back then who I meet with consistently up to now, is bugging me to do their flyer. Apparently, Chinabank is going to make their HR people hand out flyers to get more applicants. From what I heard, that company favors or rather "prioritizes" certain colleges and universities. If you're not from one of the priority colleges/universities, forget it. Even if you graduated cum laude, forget it still. For them, the name of the school is the important thing. If I'm not mistaken, Priority 1 schools include, Ateneo (oh, should I put THE before "Ateneo"?), UP, and La Salle. Priority 2 are Mapua (specific courses), UST, the exclusive schools, etc. Other schools not mentioned, you know where you belong.


The system sucks. But admit it, if you own a company, wouldn't you like to get graduates from the top performing schools in the country? I would want that. But you know what, I know one big boss who's a former Atenean. He totally sucks.
