[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't think it is worth an extra 12k a year to send your kid to Harvard over Tulane? In this economy?? Do you not realize how many more job opportunities your child will have for the rest of his life with Harvard on his resume?

It would take the kid years to save $50,000 difference. [/quote]

He has a much better chance of getting a job that pays well coming out of Harvard. Wall Street recruits all sorts of majors from Harvard. Not so case Western or Tulane.

He also has a better chance of getting into a good graduate professional school coming from Harvard. Take law school as an example. He'll need a 4.0 from the second-tier school in order to get into the same law school that hed get into with a 3.3 from Harvard. He has a far better chance of getting a higher paying job coming from a better law school than  a lower tier law school. He could make up that 50,000 in no time with an associate position that pays 170 versus a small regional firm that pays 60.

I wonder what kind of cars and what sort of cable packages and vacations the people who are saying they would not pay the extra 12,000 a year go on and have.[/quote]
