Maryland is #41, making it BARELY Tier 1. The conventional wisdom is that going to a school outside top 25 is a bad investment, because all of the schools outside the top 25 are shit and do not provide good employment opportunities in the post-housing crisis/Obama world.

Not to take Heartbrand's side cause he can be kind of irritating, but...
Maryland is actually a decent university, but suffers from regional immobility. It's on the Eastern seaboard which pits it against the Ivy, but MD doesn't quite qualify as a shit degree. Going to a top 60ish school can be good under some common circumstances such as going to a lower ranked but regionally dominant school (Arizona, Houston, SMU, New Mexico, etc.) or if you have a specific purpose for the degree in mind.
Also, I know NYU and Yale law grads who are instructors. Powerscore can be decent pay for a small time investment if you enjoy it as a side matter.
