what is the edge when you enter an ivy league? does that make you smarter? or does it look good for your future... ?? what are your thoughts? this is somewhat a debate..

Well it's harder ot get into an Ivy League college, so I think you're already a little smarter. The college degree you earn at an ivy league school will probably increase your lifetime earnings vs if you went to another college, like a adult education college, or a continuing education college, or a nursing college, or a junior college, or a technical college, or even an online college. Really almost any other type of college. The college tuition at any ivy league college is much higher though, but I still think it's worth it if you can get in and afford it. There's always some type of college scholarships available to help you afford it. When you go look for jobs an ivy league degree will count for more in just about any field. Whether you're looking for legal jobs, or government jobs, or enviromental jobs, sales jobs, medical jobs, accounting jobs, your employment opportunities are just better with an ivy league degree. And it will increase your lifetime earnings.
