[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Penn State engineering degree is more impressive than an English degree from Harvard or Yale.[/quote]

Is it?  What probably is true about your statement is the Penn State engineer may make more money in the short term than the English degree graduate from Harvard or Yale.  But the Harvard or Yale English graduate may still have opportunities to do jobs in areas that pay well (consulting, finance) or to go to a top graduate school (law, business).  If you are just interested in earnings, majors probably matter more overall than the school.  Remember that when you compare earnings between schools.  It may largely be a factor of the degrees chosen by graduates.

Yale and Harvard will have more famous graduates who majored in English and other arts and humanities majors than Penn State will have in engineering.  Jodie Foster studied literature at Yale, Edward Norton and George W Bush majored in history, George HW Bush, economics.

One of these things is not like the other...[/quote]
