[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will play:

Nursing-absolutely not, same salaries for Ivy or CC trained nurses, same options for NP/PA school(many which are online).

Lawyers--seems this one is the most important to land high paying jobs, though still think being connected(through family or friends) and good social skills come a long way

Medicine-absolutely not, MD/DO the same, i guess if you are a cash pay derm/psych r plastic surgeon and Ivy will get you more customers but charisma. how you do your work and patient referrals do more for you.

Social work--not really-cash pay patients seeing online degree therapists also a thing here, more about your marketing skills than therapy skills.[/quote]

Nursing -- correctish.  You can get higher paying jobs from top programs in specialties that are not open to most.

Lawyers -- connected not a help at all in biglaw.  They have taken that all out of the process.  If a partner came and said take a look at kid X he is a family friend, most firms would not look at or would and dismiss.  Law school and law school grades most important.  Undergrad secondary but still counts when interviewing.

Medicine -- agree

Social work ---- agree but when it comes to running non-profits, donors are still impressed with a Harvard or Stanford.[/quote]

Not true at all about nursing.  You don't get higher paying jobs with a more elite degree.  I know nursing hiring inside and out in a ton of different settings.  It does not matter if you went to Penn or the directional campus of a random state school.  [/quote]
