I naively thought that "worth it" had something to do with the quality of education. I shouldn't be surprised, after peeking at the outline.com link, that the WSJ is evaluating strictly in terms of future income. With an MIT founder, we hire a lot of MIT grads. After that, I didn't think it mattered much, but then I was involved in hiring a summer intern. HR gave me a couple hundred resumes, almost all from elite schools: MIT, Harvard, CMU, Brown, Yale, etc. I ended up picking someone from Yale, who was fantastic, but I can't help but thinking that the apparent school filter kept me from seeing a lot of great candidates.
