<p>Is it really worth going to a top-tiep university (such as those in the Ivy League) if one accumulates a big debt (around $60,000) over the four years?</p>
<p>I guess it depends upon the person. If you happen to land a great high-paying job after college, perhaps… I can’t see any way I would want my sons–or myself–to be saddled with that big of a loan, however. Heck, that is more than we borrowed for our house, and it still isn’t paid off after 25 years of payments.</p>
<p>USA Today did an article last fall about how more top executives are coming out of the LACs and other schools rather than the Ivies. Personally, it does not make sense to put your future in hock for a name on a sheepskin. There just isn’t the evidence to show that it makes a difference.</p>
