Is Ivy League worth the price for undergraduate

I attend an out-of-US university for my undergraduate degree and might have the opportunity to transfer to Columbia for the last two years. Is the price ($100k) worth it? I am aware that Columbia is much better for both preparation and networking but the price tag deters me. Is it realistic to hope for an IB job out of a non-US undergarduate?
