A friend who came from a wealthy family went to an Ivy League teaching school. While she was there, her family went bankrupt and she had to take on student loans. Fast forward to today, she regrets going there, saying a cheap state school would have been just as effective for her career.

You aren’t really paying Ivy League prices for the quality of the classes, but more the quality of the connections and reputation.

This is true (for anyone, actually), but how would a teacher leverage such connections?
