The most coveted jobs are in Silicon Valley, and most selective US universities are members of the Ivy League. So it stands to reason that tech giants like Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook would scoop up best and brightest from those bastions of power and privilege.
Think again. None of the eight Ivy League schools—Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth and the University of Pennsylvania—cracked the top 10 on a list of the universities sending the most graduates to tech firms, according to an analysis by HiringSolved, an online recruiting company. The company used data from more than 10,000 public profiles for tech workers hired or promoted into new positions in 2016 and the first two months of 2017.
Here are the schools with the most undergraduate and graduate alumni hired by the 25 biggest Silicon Valley employers in the last year:
1 University of California, Berkeley
2 Stanford University
3 Carnegie Mellon University
4 University of Southern California
5 The University of Texas at Austin
6 Georgia Institute of Technology
7 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
8 San Jose State University
9 University of California, San Diego
10 Arizona State University
The two universities at the top are no surprise: Stanford and Berkeley are major computer science and engineering powerhouses in the Bay Area, and tech firms have close relationships with their faculty and administrators (former Stanford president John Hennessy founded a microprocessing company). They’re followed on the list by two private universities with strong engineering programs. The rest of the top 10 are public universities.
What most of the schools in the top 10 share is size. The public universities on the list are among the largest in the US—Arizona State has almost 72,000 students, Texas has about 51,000—and their volume of engineering and computer science graduates make the universities attractive destinations for recruiters from firms hiring in big numbers. San Jose State alone has more than 7,000 engineering students in its 13 graduate and undergraduate programs—more than the total enrollment of Dartmouth. The exception is Carnegie Mellon, with an enrollment of about 14,000.
It’s not until the next 15 universities that the first Ivy school, Cornell, appears, along with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one of the world’s premier universities for engineering.
11 University of Michigan
12 University of California, Los Angeles
13 North Carolina State University
14 California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo
15 Cornell University
16 University of Waterloo (Canada)
17 Texas A&M University
18 University of Washington
19 Purdue University
20 Massachusetts Institute of Technology
21 Santa Clara University
22 University of Phoenix
23 University of California, Santa Barbara
24 University of California, Davis
25 Penn State University
Along with the big state schools, the next 15 also includes some anomalies, like the University of Waterloo, a Canadian school with strong ties to tech employers, and the University of Phoenix, a for-profit, online institution that has come under fire for its poor job placement record but still claims 213,000 students. Santa Clara, a small Catholic school, is located six miles from Apple’s headquarters.
While some of universities on the list are as selective at the Ivies, most are not. If the list tells us anything, it’s that admission to an elite university isn’t a prerequisite for a career in Silicon Valley, and what you know is more important than where you learn it.
怎么融洽同子女的关系?
·不要监控孩子的电话，尊重其隐私权。
·对孩子的朋友要和蔼可亲，但不要同他们过于亲近。不要侵入他（她）的天地。
·不要在他人面前夸奖孩子，这样会使其尴尬。
·不要在他人面前批评或斥责孩子。如果必须要这样做的话，应该在无人的时候。
·母亲在他人面前要注意服饰。母亲的形象不整洁，孩子会感到羞耻。
·如果你的孩子参加学校的演出，他（她）在舞台上时你不要打手势，这样会令他（她）紧张，甚至出错。
·孩子和你一起坐自己家的车出门时，不要把汽车收音机调到你所喜爱的频道。让孩子挑选电台，但可要求他调低音量。
·在子女需要帮助时要给予帮助，但要注意方法。
·子女在一定的阶段就像需要食品一样需要爱抚，但是爱抚要适可而止，不要在公开场合这样做，更不要在朋友面前这样做。
·不要让你的孩子在外人面前表现他的“本事”，如朗诵、唱歌、跳舞或弹钢琴。如果你为他的本领自豪并希望让人家看到，那就对他提出请求。如果父母坚持让他们在外人面前表现本领，有的孩子会感觉自己像马戏团的猴子。
·不要向他的朋友和亲属讲他的怪癖，尤其不要当他的面前。任何孩子都不愿意别人知道自己的隐私。
·不要让他失去对你的信赖。他向你透露的秘密，你不要告诉别人。你一定要完全尊重他的意愿。
·在他面前不要说谎。他看到自己的父母说谎或弄虚作假，就会感觉不好。例如，父母在某人背后说坏话，而当面又装出热情的样子，孩子就会反感。
