Pay-wise, Ivy League Degree May Not Be All It's Cracked Up To Be
Ivy League universities are synonymous with well-paid, career-track jobs, but a new report suggests they may not yield the best starting salaries.
Breaking down the closely watched U.S. News and World Report's college ranking guide, The Washington Post reports that if beginning pay scales were the sole indicator, none the country's four top universities—Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia—would even crack the top 10 or 20 schools.
