<p>You would need a crystal ball to answer your question.</p>
<p>A Princeton sociology professor not an economics professor has a part answer to your question. Sorry, I cannot find the study but the professor found that Ivy League caliber admits that attend other schools have comparable careers after college. The professor might have been Thomas J. Espenshade.</p>
<p>This article shows that Princeton and Dartmouth graduates have the highest median pay at mid-career. [Colleges</a> That Help Grads Get Top Salaries - SmartMoney.com](<a href=“Spending & Saving - MarketWatch”>Spending & Saving - MarketWatch) </p>
<p>Most studies show that the major chosen by a student has a significant impact on their salary prospects after college. The best majors for mid-career salary are engineering, math, information technology, biology, etc. Students that choose a job on Wall Street will have a higher salary that students that choose social work. Part of the decision has to be her major and the relative strength of the departments at each university.</p>
<p>Princeton is a special place. Students and alumnae love it for emotional reasons – not rational reasons. More alumnae return to see their friends and classmates each year and contribute each year to the university than any other university in the country. </p>

<p>Your family has to decide the value of being taught by Nobel Prize winner and Pulitzer Prize winners. Is there value to knowing classmates that become Supreme court justices or famous scientists?
