Does school really matter?

NO - if you are looking for a job now. It was BEFORE, I'd say until the early 2000s. The youth are very lucky that there is no place for blatant discrimination in the workplace in this era of liberals/extreme left/snowflakes I guess that's one good thing that they did, although I also don't agree with the extreme side in the west where they require a percentage of blacks or women to be hired, it should still be by MERIT.

I was able to experience the tail end of traditional hiring where prestigious MNCs would look at SEVERAL parameters like school, looks, family background, age, gender etc. I think it was when BPOs came in that companies relaxed this ruling then during the liberal era it became all out na, as much as CELEBRATING factors that used to be a negative in their hiring such as homos3xuality (Pride Month)

In my first job, hindi pwede "babakla bakla" they will manage you out. I worked in such a conservative organization that even my jewelry and make up my manager would call me out on, like for make up it should be neutral colors, when I was younger kasi I love blue eyeshadow, plus yun ang uso and jewelry should be simple and understated (no chunky jewelry). I admit mali naman talaga ako, I was so immature pa kasi when I was a fresh grad Sa boys naman yung haircut and facial hair. It's like we were in school pa rin. Definitely nobody had a tattoo in the company, at least visible. I imagine if the youth now had to go through that, they'd be up in arms and crying discrimination na.

Ang curious ako sa FMCGs, if they changed their standards na rin, they are known to be very discriminating in hiring and the cream of the crop ng top schools, hindi lang basta top school.
