Frustrated investment bankers need not despair—Harvard students enjoy significantly higher earnings than their peers—but the jury is still out on whether we can attribute these high earnings to our alma mater or simply to ourselves. Although Harvard’s educational program makes an ambiguous contribution to the future net worth of its students, a Harvard degree remains a strong predictor of high earnings later in life—yet it cannot...
