The great Red and Black -- Northwestern Oklahoma State University Rangers in Alva, Oklahoma, an NAIA school.  I must say, though, that I got just as good of an education from NWOSU as those who went to an Ivy League school, but for a LOT less.

Completely false, but lie to yourself if that's what you need to do.

Are you saying that NWOSU is inferior quality to the Ivy's?

Uhh...duh?

Chortlesnort... he's actually not entirely incorrect.  Studies have shown that, after other variables are accounted for, a college education is a college education no matter where you go, and shows itself in earnings just the same.  The problem is that there's a huge confound: rich kids go to rich schools and have rich jobs after they graduate.

What other variables were they controlling for?

Earnings are a poor way to measure education.
