[quote=Anonymous]He offers caveats in that article: “I’d also tell them to go with the elite private college if (i) they had a high degree of confidence in what they wanted to do with their degree and (ii) it was in a field like law that regards the credential as particularly valuable. And I’d tell them to strongly consider going if they came from an economically disadvantaged background and had been offered a golden ticket to join the elite. I’m not super familiar with the literature on the selective college wage premium, but it’s among this group of disadvantaged students where the benefits seem to be concentrated.” My kid got into an Ivy. He knows what he wants to do and the credentials matter for that field. If it were a kid that had zero idea and didn’t have a niche where that label mattered- I agree. We would have done in-state.[/quote]
