I see alot of people on here talking about how college is a waste of money, puts you in debt, etc... Would you keep that same opinion if you were accepted into an Ivy League? Would it be "worth" it then? discuss.
because it is. there are schools out there which trump Ivy League schools in various areas. Would you go to an Ivy League for something technological related? or would you rather go to CIT or MIT? Yeah. You wanna go somewhere for agriculture/plant science etc? Go to UC Davis. Wanna go to the best Astrology/Astronomy school in the nation? Head over to UC Santa Cruz. Wanna do video game design? Try USC. the list goes on Ivy League is a status symbol nowadays...
If someone paid for me Id go bc you have pretty good odds of getting an awesome job just bc you went to an ivy league school.
I think everyone knew that already lol, Ivy league also has their own fields of expertise.. Don't forget that
I'm a Wharton Business School graduate and if you people truly believe that higher level education is all hype and status symbols then you are all fooling yourselves... The quality of education I personally received while attending school was much greater then all my friends who were attending almost every other school. Prices for Ivy's aren't even that bad compared to some other schools. Nowadays all schools are pricey, there no getting away from it. If you want to be succeed there is little one can do to get away from it though. People who bag on college and good schools, only do because they couldn't make it into them, and need a good excuse to help them sleep at night.
I would go if I had the money .... Of course I'm sure I'll get some fine ass trophy wife who's a gold digger but as long as she put outs ....
Currently I'm finishing up my testing so that I can become a CFA. As of now i'm stilling gaining experience so my pay isn't too great. Afterwards i'm thinking of going to work in private equities for a hedge fund run by my father's friend.
Yes, congrats lotzoplotz, you went to the best school for the subject you wanted to major in. Should I go to UPenn for horticulture or UC Davis? Should I go to UPenn for Astronomy/Astrology or UC Santa Cruz?
Well i suppose you could. This thread isn't about weather Ivy's give the best opportunity for all majors. The thread was would you go if you got in, and would it be worth it. And to answer OP, yes it would be worth it. The people on the thread went off on a tangent saying how Ivy's and high level education schools are hype, which is false so I provided my opinion against that, that's all. Regardless Princeton and Harvard have great botany and Astronomy programs so i'd go there, not Pennsylvania which are more suited towards business and engineering.
