[quote=Anonymous]I think that this paper is overlooking another fact by focusing on earning power. I went to Yale, got a Ph.D at a tier one graduate school, and make a tiny salary as a college professor. My sister went to a Tier 3-4 school, but went into a technical field and has always outearned me. But, her job and her life are pretty pedestrian, while mine has been full of challenging intellectual pursuits. Also, she met her ex-husband in college and he is one of the least curious, most boring people I have every known. I met my amazing husband at Yale and we have a great partnership. All this is anecdotal, but there are so many more ways to measure the worth of a good education than earning power. [/quote]
