[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other than Ivy schools, why does it matter what 4 year you attend[b] if most people need a graduate degree[/b]?

Also, if you don't go to grad school what benefit does a higher ranked college get you? Really curious because I feel like I am missing something?[/quote]

61% of all CEOs have nothing more than a bachelor's degree.  Most people get to very senior levels without a graduate degree.

My kid works for a tech start-up where 1/2 the company doesn't even have an undergraduate degree including one of the founders (and of course there are tons of famous founders without an undergraduate degree).

DD is at an Ivy and was telling me something similar recently. Most of the people she’s connecting with in the fields she’s interested in have top-tier undergraduate degrees but no graduate degrees.[/quote]

Uh. Because that job/sector does not require grad or professional school to get the job. Law, medicine require the JD or MD. Ivy professor requires phD. Many tech research jobs hire phD not bachelors. Many jobs require MBA. Undergrad only works for some areas, but not for others. Mine are at ivies and their goals are going to require a doctorate, as are the goals of their friends[/quote]

Which jobs truly require an MBA?[/quote]
