Deciding where to go college is the first major life decision many Americans make. And while there are many factors to weigh when selecting a school - including cost and distance from home - many of the 16.6 million American college students today chose to enroll in the best school they could get into. It is generally believed that graduates of elite colleges and universities are better positioned for higher-paying careers later in life. And there is plenty of evidence to back this claim. According to one study conducted between 1996 and 2014, about 38% of Fortune 500 CEOs and 45% of billionaires attended elite post-secondary schools.
