The Most Successful People Explain Why a College Degree is USELESS

it's funny because they still take their children to the very same universities to get the degrees that they claim to be useless...so ironic

While I don't think an ivy league education is worth the money, if I could get a free ride to attend one, I'd do it in a heartbeat. If I had enough wealth where I wouldn't even blink at dropping a few hundred thousand on a child's education, I'd send them to a top school as well. Even if the education isn't significantly different, the brand and networking benefits have tremendous value.

Then again, sending your kid to a prestigious school doesn't guarantee that they'll actually learn anything, even if they graduate. Then again, part of me wonders how many people in that category of wealth end up paying other people to take their exams, etc. It sure seems like this could be the cases since there are examples where a prestigious education seems wasted on certain people.
