<p>Many of the colleges on the list with the “lower” averages of salaried jobs have a high concentration of majors in fields such as education and nursing which are some of the most important jobs in society, albeit the lower paid jobs…hence, it is not necessarily a reflection of the quality of the school, but rather the type of majors (ex. engineering/business concentrated schools will have a higher starting and median average salary).</p>

<p>Agree–Providence, for example, (my alma mater), graduates lots of social workers and teachers, so incomes are somewhat limited. This also affects alumni giving, as well.</p>

<p>HC produces lots of physicians and lawyers, hence greater salary and perhaps more giving.</p>

<p>Seems like every lawyer in Boston went to BC or Holy Cross.</p>
