Thiel argues that the value of a BA from Harvard is almost ENTIRELY credentialing and signaling, and has very little to do with learning; and therefore, a BA from any school holds little value because it represents very little about what somebody actually learned in school.

I would say the top 10 schools in any area have enough "credentialing/signaling" value to be a good investment.

Outside of that top 10, the value is only in certain subjects (e.g. engineering, accounting, nursing).
