[quote=Anonymous]Finish the degree as long as your mental health allows it.

You're almost all the way across the river.  An Ivy degree is huge.  I went to lesser known undergrad and law schools and have still been able to find a decent job, but I know several people who went to Ivy league schools.  They have doors open to them that I don't even know exist.  Not because they are smarter than I am, but because people make assumptions about how smart /hard working you are if you went to one of those schools.  It is almost always beneficial to have those names on your resume.  Yes, there is the rare managing partner who went to a state school and hates Harvard kids, but that's the exception rather than the rule.

Another poster made a great point about the debt.  With PSLF, the landscape has changed.  They've finally got the program in a somewhat decent place and people are shedding hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt while working jobs that they enjoy.  Good luck, things will be better on the other side.  [/quote]
