How Much is an Ivy League Degree Worth?

Individual effort and field of study may have a bigger influence over the quality of institution. I think you're right that the Ivy education can open doors in certain companies or organizations, but they may also backfire. I've met about a dozen Ivy League graduates who either had a "chip on their shoulder" and couldn't advance very far in their career either because of managers who were jealous or their attitudes/work product at work. Likewise, after working at several Fortune 100 companies, I have not met any in my corporate circles. (Mind you, I don't work in Big Tech or Wall Street). So, your mileage may vary.

It would be interesting to compare an Ivy League vs Private vs Public university degrees. College educated students already out-earn high-school only graduates by $1,000,000 over the lifetime.
