[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think having Ivy degree opens doors.

I've seen my friends with Ivy diplomas get offered job interviews they might not otherwise have gotten if they had a middling university diploma listed in their CV. [b]So even if the jobs are average.... they are protected from job loss during economic downturns in ways that others might not be.

This is important!

How so? I am hearing the opposite. Many Ivy are too embarrassed  to admit they are underemployed.[/quote]

PP you replied to. One of my friends does not work, by choice. But occasionally when she feels the interest, she interviews for jobs and always gets them. Another of my friends was let go in her 60s. She wants to continue working in her field, but at that age, for a woman, age discrimination is rampant. I don't think anyone except someone with an Ivy degree would have gotten the many interviews she's gotten. This is how people with Ivy degrees have an advantage and some protection against joblessness that the rest of us do not have.[/quote]
