Do you believe that the name of the college you've learned in counts when you are applying for a job?
Or just the certificates and diplomas count no matter where you obtained those ones?

Unfortunately, most of the times, the name of the college/university etc you have graduated from matters in a great extent. I mean....why else though would we have names like Oxford or Harvard or Princeton or Sorbone etc etc if not to distinguish people upon the criteria of education. Whether we like it or not, this is part of our life. But....and here it is a big "but"....I have encountered people whoo have received jobs worth to kill for and just graduated some unknown college and some unknown university (if).
I guess it's a part of the process...but it's not as important after all. It still depends on the "product" of the college.

My opinion is that the student from great colleges and university are more well trained than those who learned in no-name colleges.For example I've studied in a great highschool,my college mates didn't had my luck,the conclusion,I was more capable at the beggining of college than them.
