Yahoo Food refused to hire Gwyneth Paltrow because she doesn’t have a college degree

Gwyneth Paltrow Goop rejected from Yahoo

An important lesson for all the kids out there: Winning an Academy Award is no substitution for getting a college degree, at least in the eyes of Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer.

“Even though the actress Gwyneth Paltrow had created a best-selling cookbook and popular lifestyle blog, Mayer, who habitually asked deputies where they attended college, balked at hiring her as a contributing editor for Yahoo Food,” Nicholas Carlson wrote for The New York Times last week. “According to one executive, Mayer disapproved of the fact that Paltrow did not graduate college.”

Gwyneth actually studied anthropology at the University of California at Santa Barbara, but left before earning her degree to pursue an acting career. The New York Times used the anecdote about Marissa rejecting Gwyneth as an example of Marissa’s questionable judgment… Although the story is probably earning the Yahoo boss some points with Martha Stewart.
