Has your alma mater ever mattered?

Coming from a different field into nursing, I'm curious if the name of the college/university you went to has ever mattered after you graduated.

I've seen how in law, for example, the school you attend has quite a strong bearing on your employment opportunities later on. While I'm sure employment and opportunities in nursing aren't as pegged to alma mater, I do wonder if there is any stigma or benefit attached to certain schools.

Has anyone ever found this to be the case as you've hit the "real world"?

Thank you to everyone that's responded so far! Lots of different experiences on here.
