Actually, the idea that people from top colleges make more money has a confounding variable because people at top universities tend to be of higher intelligence. I think going to a top university has its benefits, but going to a state flagship and saving money also has strong benefits too. I believe that if you are smart and work hard and major in something practical (eg. business, engineering) you will be able to do well for yourself if you go anywhere from a state university to Harvard.
