Yet, Ivy league school graduates do get the top jobs. Money well spent. Starting associate pay for an Ivy league law school graduate is $210K this year at my daughter’s firm. Compare that to non Ivy league graduates starting pays.
Please don’t miss understand what I’m trying convey Tanks. It not that the Ivy schools are not a good education depending of the field chosen they are some of the best in the world.

But over the last 15 years the amount of BS that has nothing to do with education coming from them is startling.
One would not have assumed 20-30 years ago that Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth would have sizable factions of pro socialists, violent protest over trump,BLM, Palestine type of events, welcome hosts walking parents and students around talking about the transgender transition assistance that they offer.
