I know this is an old thread but better late than never...

You know that is a very broad question... would an IVY league experience assist you to get 6 figures? sure! Hard regimented proven curriculum on those campuses. Top dollar top notch faculty.
Would a non-Ivy league experience earn you a 6 figure salary... absolutely! Although the above route may open
more doors faster,
do not discount
yourself...
try this...
Get an interview... 30 other candidates will be interviewed for the same post/position as you.
You are then fortunate enough to be short-listed... down to 3. when u are in that position, 1 of those 3, HR is looking for a candidate who's personality:
- displays honest passion for his trade/craft/profession.
- displays team player traits.
- projects genuine confidence in a leadership or stand alone position.
- exhibits deep and proven and or WILL for knowledge as personal prerequisite for job.
And the rest sincerity, loyalty... honesty... results oriented...etc should be easy.
Always be proud of who and what you are regardless of "schooling" ...remember... your profession is WHAT you are not WHO you are.
In MOST circumstances people are hired for the
WHO in them as there are 30/100/1000 others out there with comparable credentials... After all its ALL about
selling your appeal and how it will compliment the environment you are seeking employment...
This is your MOVIE... you are the producer, writer Director... Lead actor.
Am i suppose to say "go break a leg" now?
