Do Elite Colleges Produce the Best-Paid Graduates?

July 22nd, 2009 | Posted in Education


I was just wondering what the best paid jobs are after leaving university and what the best paid degrees are. More demanding in how much they ask to be paid more demanding in the way they want to work and how flexible their hours are and so forth.

I ask myself what are the best paid jobs after separating from the University and which are the best pay degrees.
But there’s question that says: “Do Elite Colleges Produce the Best-Paid Graduates?

Newly released data from PayScale.com, a site that collects salary data on the salaries of graduate students from different colleges. It seems so Pay-Scale a site that collects data on salaries for different professions argues that it can help students answer that question. All methodology is linkable on the page Forget. But even at small schools many make more than their large school counterparts.

The numbers are from 1.2 million users of PayScale’s site who self-reported their salaries and educational credentials in a PayScale survey over the last year. While the data are not from a randomized scientific sample, they are still pretty tantalizing. Here, for example, are the rankings by median mid-career salary (minimum 10 years out of school) by university:

Some of them can’t wait to get out into the job market where they can do what they do best be social and work on teams. Flagship public schools like UC Berkeley have produced some of best graduate students in the world while keeping tuition very low.

Most companies infact will do anything and go any length to lure the very best graduates.

We should not be saddling potential doctors with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt or dissuading people from pursuing a career in medicine due to their fear. Plus truth is told this is how we reward people when they graduate from school we pay them to do things.
