I found a list of schools with their average starting and mid carrer salaries from Payscale. I would like to find a full list from another source( not just a top 10 or something like that) to cross check Payscale. Does anybody know of one out there?
Anybody got anything?
those lists are meaningless.
@mom2coIIegekids Why are they meaningless? Isn’t the point of college to get a job so that you can make money. These lists are based off true statistics.
ichiro, they are meaningless because they do not take geographic dispersement, cost of living and choice of major into account. Universities that graduate a large percentage of students in Engineering, CS and Business in the Northeast or West Coast will likely have much more impressive salary data than universities that graduate a large percentage of students in the humanities located in the Midwest or the South. Is WPI better than Grinnell, or Stevens Institute of Technology better than Carleton College? Obviously not…but without seeing the salary data, I am fairly certain that WPI and Stevens win…hands down.
@ichiro The words “true” and “statistics” should never be used in the same sentence.

Exactly.
Those stats are worthless.
