If you are going to school to get a job then no, not worth it, and all the “average graduate job placement and salary” statistics are not nuanced enough or telling you anything important. If you are going to school to network with the elite, adopt their culture, and maybe parlay that into financial opportunity by mere proximity, Harvard is still one of the best bets for the last 500 (edit: ROUNDUP (385, -2)) years. They will weather this recent half-century where people associate higher education with working for other people out of necessity (and therefore consider university caste system to be the primary problem as opposed to the entire private sector).
