<p>Is it true that LAC graduates usually make less after graduating compared to graduates from other universities??</p>
<p>where on earth did you hear that? Fox News?
Statements like those are almost never true.</p>
<p>IF there is a difference, the usual lack of engineering at LACs could account for differences in average salaries. </p>
<p>It’s always good to take a harder look or think about possible causes for these types of claims. There’s usually an agenda lurking.</p>
<p>No. Salary upon graduation depends more on field studied than college/university attended. Also, keep in mind that post-graduation starting salaries don’t necessarily predict lifelong earnings or career trajectories. Most LACs don’t offer vocationally oriented pre-professional training because that’s not their thing; but many LAC students go on to graduate training and end up doing quite well.</p>
