Is a Trinity degree worth more?

Sir, – Paddy Cosgrave, founder of the Dublin Web Summit, only wants to hire top honours graduates to fill upcoming positions ("Tech entrepreneur hits a nerve", Education, May 9th). He is overlooking a big opportunity. The founders of the top three technology firms in the world all have one thing in common. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and the late Steve Jobs all dropped out of college to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities. A more inclusive hiring process might capture more potential greats. – Yours, etc,
