I hold a masters degree in geography from West Chester (granted, not exactly a top-notch school, but it's still an education I will be paying for until my 40s), and I'm working as a caregiver for the elderly.

You're giving anecdotal examples. People who get relavent university degrees, especially ivy league in your example will have great long term prospects.
I don't care what anyone says. post-secondary education is always a good investment long term and if you don't plan on dying anytime soon, you will be around for awhile.
