Measuring the Value of a Harvard Degree

According to payscale.com, the median starting salary of emerging Harvard undergraduates who work full-time in the United States is $63,400; even without pursuing further schooling, they boast mid-career median salaries of $124,000. Compare these numbers to the median earnings of the average American male—$45,113 in 2007—and the evidence that a Harvard education increases one’s earning potential appears incontrovertible.

A Harvard degree remains a strong predictor of high earnings later in life—yet it cannot guarantee success. Attempts to place a dollar amount on human life offend our moral sensibilities; success, too, is insufficiently captured by the callousness of a quantity. Ultimately, it is the prerogative of each individual to secure success on her own terms, whether they be monetary or otherwise.
