[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard is the type of school where you can study art history or “Government” and still end up with a lucrative career in finance.

Whatever that tangible benefit is called….people really want it. I bet there’s a German word for this. [/quote]

Nope, again that's your imagination.

Harvard History: $60,343

Harvard Political Science: $64,803

History and Political Science are the better ones, but still don't look 'lucrative'
Just a little better than lower tier schools, but not so lucrative.

Again elite majors >>> elite name brand schools
It's 21st century.  Don't rely on rumors or imagination.
Middle class/UMC folks who spend $$ better be aware.

Is Harvard overrated?  Very Much.

Harvard computer science - $163,896.

That is a massive premium to the CS earnings at Northeastern and BU[/quote]

Agree, Harvard CS is on par with MIT CS, Stanford CS, and Berkeley CS (can't find the numbers for Princeton CS). Big misconception that it isn't. Same goes for Yale, also on par with all of those four. All five of these fall underneath the Carnegie Mellon though[/quote]
