The Bosses Who Don’t Care About Your Ivy League Degree

"It’s hard to get a job at Charlie Gipple’s financial advisory firm if you went to the wrong college—like Harvard, Yale or Princeton.

The chief executive of CG Financial Group in Johnston, Iowa, says academic credentials don’t impress him like they used to. He worked with many graduates of top-tier colleges in previous jobs at MetLife and ING Groep, where he was a vice president, and says they too often approach clients’ challenges like textbook case studies, rather than real-world problems.

“If I were hiring somebody to be my right-hand person today, there’s not a chance in hell it would be an Ivy League person,” says Gipple, who graduated from the University of Northern Iowa and manages a network of about 500 advisers.

Traditionally a springboard to the top of the résumé pile, a degree from a prestigious university can now prompt questions about its value or even work against job seekers.

In extreme cases, it’s disqualifying. A group of 13 federal judges signed a letter in May saying they will not hire law clerks who enrolled at Columbia Law School this fall because of how the school has handled campus protests."

"It’s Time To Rethink Bread

If you’ve struggled to cut bread from your diet, science suggests you might want to remove something else.
Research suggests that bread eaters are less likely to be overweight — assuming they eat higher-fiber bread.

Before you brush off the findings, the conclusion was based on a review of 45 studies that analyzed more than 700,000 people.
The main takeaway was that eating more fibrous whole grains is linked to lower risks of heart disease, cancer, and overall mortality, showing that simple swaps can have big payoffs for your health.

However, the finer details of the study revealed more about what people eat to get enough fiber in their diet and why many people often remove foods unnecessarily.

The scientists found that people who ate six slices or more daily of whole grain, high-fiber bread were more likely to maintain a healthy body weight.

The problem is that bread is often lumped with other “refined carbohydrates,” such as cookies, cake, and soda. So, while some bread options don’t have much nutritious value, bread itself does not necessarily lead to weight gain.

Research suggests that your best bet is to buy bread with a carb-to-fiber ratio lower than 10:1. So for every 20 grams of carbs, you’ll want at least 2 grams of fiber. But at The Pump Club, we also know that people tend to under-eat fiber. So, we recommend looking for bread with at least 4 grams of fiber per slice."
