Yes. well, those students who wish to take the risk (and it can often be a good one to take)... to go into debt for a “brand name” degree .... that’s fine with me.
(Just don’t complain if it doesn’t pay off for you right away, after all. I know, I’ve been there, done that. Life goes on, take that lower-paying job and pay off the money your borrowed and move on from there....you were still very fortunate to be permitted to roll those “brand name degree” dice, and I’m sure you got some value from it, too, if not immediate riches.)
thanks

It is a risk, but one you need to be aware of.

If you have a chance to get a MBA from Harvard or from University of Iowa, go to Harvard. The name will be worth it.

Once you step down from the top level schools, the brand name isn't worth as much. An engineering degree from Iowa State is better than say, Nebraska, but that doesn't mean you turn a full ride down at Nebraska to get the name.

If you get a degree from an online school, you have to be very careful.
