[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's possible to acknowledge that from an ROI perspective, there are many great schools on par with ivies that cost a lot less. This is especially true for undergraduate education, which is the whole ball of wax.

But it's always amusing to read the responses from people shelling out the price of a house for their snowflake's education and then sniff that say, "sure, they're perfectly fine but Hahvahd is bettah." At the margins, maybe it is, but a decade down the road, it's very possible the Public Ivy grad is out-earning the snowflake and, as a bonus, probably living a more full life.

1. Yes it's possible that the PI grad is earning more but which have more opportunities/easier time respectively?  Also PI grads in engineering etc are always going to out earn those in other careers.  I know coders that earn more than any supreme court justice.  "Full Life", well I don't know how you measure that. I have an "off the grid" family member who feels his life is full.

2. [b]Many people feel ROI is a stupid way to value education[/b].  A CC accounting degree has the best ROI, so just get that, right?

3. Your use of the term "snowflake" shows that you are an ass and no one should take any of your points seriously.[/quote]

Correct on all points but especially the bolded.[/quote]

Thank you![/quote]
