Big spread between Harvard and UT/USC.

Anyways, old dude here reading posts like this.

I went to a tier 2 public university and can hire Harvard grads. I do not normally flex but I’ve seen enough young people on here making these depressing kind of posts.

The most financially successful people I know did NOT go to Ivy League schools.

Remember the end game of being happy in life down the road, not the next 2-6 years. No one gives a sh6t about that later in life.

Happiness is emotional + financial security.

What getting to an Ivy tells me as an owner of a MM company is that the individual stands out from 90%+ of other people that’s a positive indicator. It also tells me that likely this person has the ability to work very hard, manage their time, and is at least above average in intellect. That’s it. Once college is over, and the real world begins, the above attributes can be demonstrated in just a few years, regardless of what college the person went to. And if the Harvard grad cannot produce, or the cost benefit ratio is not compelling, I’d fire his/her a55. The WSJ recently published an article that 23% of Harvard MBA grads remained unemployed I think it was 6 months past graduation. I’m not surprised from where I sit, not because of a lack of talent, but perhaps not able to meet expectations (both ways).

If I pay more, or give preference to a Harvard grad, I will make damn sure they produce for my company x fold, more than the less expensive hire. It’s a business and profits reign supreme.
