[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]Ivy doesn't mean much after 10 years of experience[/b][/quote] Actually, I agree with this. There was a study that was done a few years back that compared the earnings of Ivy graduates with State U. graduates working in the same fields that found very little, if any difference, in the impact of where you went to school on the overall trajectory of your career and your earning over your lifetime. It did make a difference for students who were black or Hispanic or who were first generation college graduates. What matters is what you do in the workforce once you are out there. What matters is can you perform and not what degree do you have. A link to a NYT article on the study, which also contains a link to the study itself, is here: http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/21/revisiting-the-value-of-elite-colleges/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0 [/quote]
