We've had presidents and VPs that didn't attend Ivy league/elite schools. I didn't attend one either. I went to a lame state school.
A few years ago, I had to defend my five year old transcript in order to move into a management level job. I'm not sure at what age you get to escape your past. I know people five to 10 years older who've done the same thing with my company.

I agree that she should have finished her term as governor, but the only reason the educational thing is significant to me is if it could have predicted a character trait of not sticking with stuff. And she stuck with going to college and graduated; she just hopped from one institution to another, and I don't know what that means.
I don't know if "escape your past" is how I would describe having actual experience that overcomes a mixed educational background. But if you stay with one company, and they're comparing you to new candidates whose whole resume they review, it wouldn't surprise me for them to ask you questions about the areas that you seemed weaker than the other candidates on. It might even be necessary to go back to school for some positions, but you know that.
