Does where you had your bachelor comes from, really matter?

Well, the topic explains already the question
But is the `recognition` of your masters much more important than your bachelor?

(Considering you apply only to Economics or BA bachelor)

PS Which dutch university has a better reputation. University of Amsterdam or Erasmus, or it doesn't really matter?

I have excellent degrees from some of the top universities in the world. I am also highly professionally qualified. I used to work in the realms of high finance in the City of London, and I noticed that I was given more opportunities of a sophisticated nature, in order to reflect the superior and better quality nature of my educational repertoire.

I would say, however, that when I took 'retirement' from working for others and went into self-employment as a professional trader, it became an irrelevance as to which universities I had been educated at.

Much, therefore, depends on whether you seek to work for others or seek to work for yourself.

Precisely, very well put.

But if you seek to work for yourself the syllabus is just as demanding as that formulated by the formal learning establishments.

This is because you now have to enter the university of the mind and of self.

I am keeping it simple in accordance with your suggestion on another thread.

I hope it suffices.

Excellent and well-constructed post, Socrates.

Thank you.
