[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is really two debates in one.

1. Is your Ivy degree wasted if you earn a middle-class salary, or achieve anything short of extraordinary success in your field? Answer: no.

2. Does it make sense for donut hole parents to borrow $100k plus to send their high-stats kids to Ivies over going in-state to a highly-respected but much more affordable public T50? Answer: also no. [/quote]

This assumes job outcomes are the only reason to go to college. Umm, how about the quality of the education????

Signed,

an Ivy grad with a job that OP might consider average but who would do it all again in a heartbeat because I value education[/quote]

Oh yes, the “quality of the education” at Harvard where everyone is too busy applying for clubs to attend class, or at Stanford where kids go just to get VC funding and drop out. That’s what these schools are all about, “the quality of the education.” Give me a break. [/quote]

Well, for starters Stanford isn't an Ivy. If you didn't attend one of these colleges, you probably are not aware of the quality of the education. [/quote]

Lol, Stanford and Chicago catching strays! Ivy snobbishness is truly unparalleled. Can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t want to go into debt for the pleasure of spending four years in an atmosphere of incurious and unrelenting status competition. [/quote]
