[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Attending and graduating from an Ivy League school generates opportunities. Whether or not one takes advantage of those opportunities is an individual matter, not a criticism of Ivy League schools.[/quote]

Attending any college generates opportunities. Every college has alumni networks.[/quote]

So all colleges are the same with respect to job & career opportunities ?[/quote]

Major matters much more

Post college salary is self reporting.  So why would anyone care what the data is saying.[/quote]

Its at least data by DoE and much better that stuff out of random people's arses[/quote]

But where is the DoE getting there data?  I assume the schools.[/quote]

It is associated with those who have federally backed student loans.  It is not all students.

[/quote]

It's associated with students who got federal aid(Pell) and/or received federal student loan.
This applies to most of the 'normal' low income, middle class, UMC families.
It also eliminates rich dad with family business, fancy connection, trust fund kids, celebrities, etc. 
Many of those 'prestigious' schools have these type of people, and school reported data has huge skew.

Hence this is close to real data.
