<p>Going to an Ivy-level school will definitely help you in the short term because (this is just my perception) it is much easier to get a higher-paying job right after you graduate. After that, it really depends on the individual. If they got everything they could out of their Ivy-level education, then they will certainly go on to have a successful career in whatever they pursue. If they didn’t take much out of college, then it probably won’t work out.</p>
<p>Again, just my perception, I don’t know if the statistics support it.</p>
