<p>cornell arch grads do not earn higher salaries than other arch grads when they get out. in the arch profession, the amount of money you make largely depends on where you work and how many years of experience you have. cornell grads however are well respected and have good networking connections...which is very useful in the profession (and sometimes more important than simply salary itself).</p>
<p>Good point sashimi... I should have added, the nature of the practice can be so grueling that making 10% more salary than you would have at another firm is never going to get you through your 7-day weeks or your fourth all-nighter of the month. Fascinating and compelling work just might do it, though.</p>

<p>Please explain what you mean by this. The size of the population does not cause a lower or higher statistical mean</p>
