Do jobs care which university you went to?

Do employers care about what you go to school for?

How do employers find out where you went to college?
Social Media. If the employer knows where you went to school, he might use that information to find out more about you. If the job is in a career field that matches your college degree area and the job opening is in the same area where you went to college, the employer might know some of your classmates or professors.
