[quote=Anonymous]Let me lay this out really simply. There is a very very limited subset of careers where going to an ivy might credible help set up for long term success. Like being elected president of the United States. There are a subset of careers where it can help in the short term but that bump may or may not last over time AND an ivy isn’t the only pathway to success, for example certain business fields. There is an exceptionally large subset of jobs and careers where it simply does not matter. An elementary school teacher doesn’t need to go to an Ivy. Same with a physical therapist. Same with an accountant. Etc ad nauseum for 98% of actual jobs. If you have never met someone with a successful career who didn’t go to a top school I have to seriously wonder if you exist in the same world as the rest of us.[/quote]
