LinkedIn - Maybe It Should Purge Our Alma Maters from Our Profiles
"What you study generally matters more than where you do." - in "Useless Studies,"
from THE ECONOMIST, April 8, 2023 (subscription required)
The implications of this, of course, are profound. The most obvious takeaway could be to attend a state school (instead of an elite private one) and as long as you major in a discipline which is marketable you likely will have a successful career. Without having to pay a king's ransom for tuition.
According to recent research the best bets are on:
Economics
Medicine
Computing
Math.
The worst outcomes could come from concentrating on:
Philosophy
English
Agriculture
Social care
Creative arts.
So, it makes professional common sense that LinkedIn back off from having us list our alma mater on our profile. Instead we replace that with our core competence.
