> Who has the money to go to Stanford to get a degree that offers very limited career opportunities at pay levels that will never recoup your college costs? A LOT of people. How many applications do they turn down? They can just keep jacking up the prices and people will still keep going. The name is worth far more than the job prospects available. I'm just not sure that they only want to be a club for the super rich (or maybe they do and just admit enough poor people to try to appear otherwise.) Similarly, I can't see employment being a problem for someone graduating from Stanford. They'll get paid.
