[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You really think the average marketing major from Podunk State has better earning potential than a philosophy major from Princeton? [/quote]

No, but say NYU, BC, Georgetown, etc. finance crushes Princeton philosophy

First, it is not all about money. Second, if the philosophy major chose law or consulting or medicine after Princeton, which a LOT of them do, then Princeton grad wins. Do not underestimate the power of the brand, ivies and "ivy plus". NYU BC cannot compete. Georgetown is closer, like a Vanderbilt or Emory, but it is not the same tier as ivy/plus. The recruiters that come to these schools, and the T5 law schools that favor these schools, makes it evident the playing field is not even. I have a kid there. The opportunities are almost endless. Sure there are some philosophy majors that just want to teach in a fancy boarding school or college, they will not make big $ but those academic jobs are also heavily skewed toward certain undergrad pedigrees.

I was comparing bachelor degree to bachelor, but exactly, Princeton philosophy gets crushed by NYU BC finance hence they need additional higher degree like law or whatever spending additional time and $$$
