but like i said, i think this endless striving, sense of career, status seeking, etc. is all flame, brother. |

I don't think most agencies care about prestige.
I worked a summer at the National Archives and everyone there was from a TTT, except the general counsel (went to yale). one guy was a fed lifer who decided to go to law school at U Baltimore and got hired into the OGC's office.
actually, more than experience your race and any disability you might have, as well as veteran status, carries a huge amount of weight. if you are a crippled black veteran bottom of your class at Cardozo you are golden. |
