<p>I don’t think it’s right to say that Ivy graduates will be “worse off” at lower-level jobs. It’s probably better to say that their frame of mind from attending such high-caliber schools is just that they’re too good to hold such positions. A more conventional way of saying this is that they’re “overqualified”. And this has become rather commonplace nowadays, thanks to the poor economy/job market.</p>
<p>Btw I’m interested to see where you get your information regarding percentages of each Ivy class attending law school, grad school, med school, etc. I highly doubt 40% of each class attends law school…</p>
<p>I think this site really blows the Ivy League out of proportion. Yes they’re great schools, but not every Ivy graduate is going to go out and rule the world. There are plenty of schools where you can get an equal or better education than those offered in the Ivies.</p>
