Going To Yale Makes Women Rich, But Only If They Marry—And Other Studies Women Should See

But for women, attending a highly selective school has massive effects. A young woman admitted to both UK and Yale faces a resounding choice about her future life.

However, her odds of ever getting married are about 25 percentage points, or about one third, lower. Crucially, her odds of having a higher income rise only if she gets married! 

Fascinating take on a piece of conventional wisdom that says it doesn't matter what college you go to. Apparently it does... for women!
