Footnotes: Morgan Stanley’s FINRA Fine; Tax the Rich, Say the Rich | 05.06.14

Prestigious schools get you paid but don’t make you happier Researchers found that attending a public or private school, whether it was elite or less selective, had little bearing on one’s feeling of well being or how engaged graduates were with their post-college work. Gallup defined well being based on measures of social, financial, and physical status, as well as how the survey’s 30,000 respondents rated their sense of community and purpose. The type of school graduates attended had little impact on whether they reported high levels of well being more or less across the board. [Quartz]
