National Geographic ("so prestigious, even Chinese parents will listen to it!™) wrote a piece in late 2005 saying Philadelphia is “the next great American city”–moreover Philadelphia real estate has not been hurt nearly as badly as most other cities–ritzy condos are still going up.</p>
<p>As for earnings potential:

<p>You can also show the handy pie chart indicating 40% of Wharton students traditionally do finance (a nonstarter at the moment) while the College is much more diverse with only 12% going into finance</p>
<p>Moreover you might want to point out that in terms of sheer earnings potential, the SEAS kids are the ones who graduate with the highest salary ( [Career</a> Services, University of Pennsylvania](<a href=“http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/seas/surveys.html]Career”>http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/careerservices/seas/surveys.html) )</p>
<p>Then there’s this bit for kicks [YouTube</a> - Interview with Dr. Amy Gutmann on China Business Network](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpbT2VGiKFw&feature=channel_page]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpbT2VGiKFw&feature=channel_page) A 10-minute special on Penn for China Business Network (must have been a slow news day…) Now my Mandarin is a bit rusty but I’m moderately sure they don’t spend the ENTIRE time just talking about how awesome Wharton is ;)</p>
