Do Ivy League Degrees Actually Matter? Plus, When to Rent vs. Buy
Summary
Scott Galloway answers listener questions on hiring, real estate, and leadership. He advises against fetishizing Ivy League talent, recommending reference hiring and focusing on top performers at local universities. Galloway analyzes the rent-versus-buy debate, noting that while renting is often cheaper now, homeownership offers forced savings and psychic benefits. Finally, he encourages a PhD student to leverage peer networks and data rather than deciding quickly in isolation.
