I wrote one of those “caliber” things, with the acknowledgement that it require the alumni to make the most out of it and that it isnt about being hired at a better salary.

Accessing capital, board seats, “being picked” to be part of those teams, impressing people that wont scrutinize further just because MIT alumni? Absolutely worlds beyond what the plebs can do, and that requires an ambition unrelated to being an employee.

The education experience is irrelevant. Just twiddle your thumbs for 4 years for all I care. Good practice for “rest and vest”.
