<p>Is there a college ranking based upon average salary after graduation + student, alumni satisfaction?</p>
<p>lol thats a good one and a pretty good idea i might say, i doubt theres any place on college board but maybe google it</p>
<p>Probably not; you might have to get the data from USNWR and calculate it.</p>
<p>If there is, it wouldn't mean much. Places that graduate lots of engineers would top the list, but this would only tell you what proportion of students majored in such areas.</p>
<p>What period of time after graduation? Many future high earners go into post-grad programs that take a good number of years to pay off big. By the time someone has gone to law school, paid off their loans, and is offered partnership in a firm, (which means another expense to buy in), it could be 10 years after graduation before they are making the kind of big money we associate with lawyers. I don't know how a meaningful list can be compiled. More depends upon the individual than the school they attended as an undergrad.</p>
<p>I don't know if there is a ranking base on salary, but colleges in the past have posted what the avg starting salary for their graduates are. Granted, it would be subject to all the factors that others above have pointed out, although to some degree you could says grads from different colleges (other than engineering) would be affected in roughly equal allocations. However, I guess it's been noted that grads from Carleton, Oberlin pursue PhDs at a much higher rate than Colgate, Middlebury; so maybe it's even harder to compare.</p>
<p>Many colleges post alumni satisfaction surveys. Search for the Office of Institutional Research at each school. Alumni giving rate can also be a measure.</p>
<p>Average salaries are worthless info.</p>
<p>No offense to the OP but I think its a terrible idea to choose your college based on how much money you'll make afterwards. College is supposed to be a place to broaden your horizons and expand your knowledge, not a place to secure that large paycheck for later in life.</p>
<p>how much money you make will depend on you not where you go to school.</p>
<p>i guess salary info is obsolete in the long run but i feel that initial salary for certain fields can be measured.</p>
<p>I doubt there is a ranking like that, however it shouldn't matter what the average salary is for a graduate at a particular school. I hope this plays no role in your college selection process. Chances are, if you graduate from a good school you're salary will be higher.</p>
