Depends on what it is in. As a practical matter it is a good path to some sort of graduate school but that is about it. By choosing that route your committing yourself to at least 6-7 years of higher education.
I always think about my time as a law clerk. The firm I worked at had two different receptionists during the time frame I worked there. They were both absolutely stunning young ladies with great personalities. The first one started at the firm after she had graduated from the Krannert School of Management (Purdue University) with honors. She took the job because she couldn't find anything else, and she intended to work it till she found something better. She never found anything better and at 28 told the firm she wasn't looking anymore so they promoted her to be a secretary for one of the attorneys. The second one they hired to replace her had graduated from IU's school of business about a year prior and was working two waitress jobs when they hired her at a couple dollars an hour more than minimum wage. Now I thought to myself if these two absolutely stunning gals with great personalities couldn't get a decent job how could anybody else?
Yes, I know they weren't ivy legal schools but they are considered the best in Indiana.

An Ivy League 4 year degree is impressive and the path to good things.
