[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Disagree about medicine.  It does matter- depending on what specialty and where you want to work.  Where you go to school can absolutely affect what type of residency you match with (and if you get your first choice) and what institution hires you afterward.  Most doctors are not private practice, therefore they are subjected to the hiring process by a panel like other professionals, where they do consider your credentials. [/quote]

You get into a desired residency based on usmle 2 scores-they got rid of scoring for part 1 due to equity LOL. What really gets you into a good residency is research and being published in selective med journals (this is hard to do when you are volunteering cleaning poop in the hospital so you can get into med school)-which can be done also by foreign trained docs(who didnt have to clean poop in their foreign countries to become docs)-have foreign med school derm friend who went research way to derm residency-making 1mil doing botox and fillers is so cal now....life is good

Large research based hospitals are more likely to hire doctors from more prestigious academic institutions, same with research opportunities while in med school. That doesn’t mean super high salary necessarily.

So…it just depends what you what to do and where you want to practice.  You can be a no name state med school graduate and make 800k taking out gall bladders all day as a general surgeon in North Dakota. But maybe you want to make 500k at Hopkins or Duke [/quote]

As I responded to another post, the list below belies your point.
