Grad school is all that matters. Law and business are two examples but pretty much any graduate program at an Ivy-league will bring about better opportunities than a regular state school.
Undergrads doesn't matter, since you haven't proven yourself capable in any meaingful way; employers could care less -- a social science undergrad from Harvard is equally as worthless as one from your State school. That's the reality of it!

The question is can you get into an Ivy League school? If not, no worries, it only matters to employers seeking MBA and JD grads. There are alot of opportunities for the rest of us. Now thats a Frank....

K-Mart, not necessarily, the Law firm of Latham and Watkins, definately. Given a choice to fill one associate position with 10 applications they will take the one from Harvard.

I don't think that it matters where you get the degree. The fact that you have a degree (at least a 4-year degree) is important.
Where you get your graduate degree from is more important. Still, I think that employers just like knowing that you have a degree of some kind.

It may be important for your first position out of college at some companies. After that, your work experience, personality, references and "fit" for the position are more important.
