<p>it's all about princetonians earning more than others...</p>
<p>let's put it on the table:</p>
<p>what does an "average" princeton COLLEGE graduate earn, with just their bachelor's degree straight going into business? (no MBA or whatever)</p>
<p>what can he/she earn, maximum?</p>
<p>ppl are always trying to rank colleges, is there any verified information about the graduates' starting salaries?</p>
<p>thanks a lot</p>
<p>The ones who become analysts in i-banking and consulting get about $52,000 plus bonuses. Typically in these fields you work very hard for a couple of years and then go to business school, then come out and start earning much more. This is the same as analysts earn from the other schools where these firms recruit -- the Ivies, etc.</p>
<p>thanks a lot...</p>
<p>so would you say that having graduated from princeton or some other ivy league college will give you significant financial advantages compared to non-ivy or average colleges?</p>
<p>yeah, the name princeton has a lot in it.
highest paid are the ppl who major in math. they earn bout $65K!</p>
<p>what do you end up doing after majoring in math??</p>
<p>And what do those majoring in Woodrow Wilson, or Econ or Politics make, on average? What is considered a really great total salary for someone fresh out of college? $50 000? $75 000?</p>
<p>Unless they all go out of business, my 1st year analyst buddies at hedge funds earn $130 base +bonus (usually circa $25k)</p>
<p>Dazy, these firms don't only recruit at Ivies, but they do take a high percentage of grads from Ivy, little Ivy, former Seven Sister, etc., schools.</p>
<p>Idk about princeton, but my cousin who is an MIT double major undergrad (CS and Econ) got a starting salary of $80K for goldman and then it went up to $120K by the next year, then to $600K the year later...no kiddin. Got an offer from deutsche for $600K + $200K bonus a couple of months back. considering MIT isnt the hottest for econ, if work a bit hard u might get pretty rich from being a pton</p>
<p>On an average, those majoring in eco: $50k, Politics:$47.5k, woodwrow wilson: $48k. But I dont what sort of jobs they get</p>
<p>callthecops-if i'm not mistaken , MIT does have an excellent eco program. but still, 600k is insane! good for him!</p>
<p>Average starting salary for a Princeton Bacehlor's Degree: $48,973. You can expect to earn around that much, likely to be slightly higher for those with social science degrees.</p>
<p>For comparison, average startying salary for a MIT Bachelor's Degree: $56377</p>
<p>Are starting salaries of $75k+ generally limited to the investment banking field?</p>
<p>How about princeton graduates in other countries? Do they get the a salary within the same range?</p>
<p>i would assume so.</p>
<p>everyone has heard of harvard/yale/princeton at some point in their life.</p>
<p>i dont think that princeton graduates in other countries get the same salary. like u can't expect $50k in india!. but yeah compared to others in the same country they get a preety good salary.</p>
<p>axel...sloan is a good place but its grad if im not mistaken. well anyway...look towards the banking field if u want see $$$$</p>
<p>When you look at these salaries, keep in mind that in i-banking the bonus can be in the 40,000 range. Consulting also pays very well.</p>

<p>Adi - where did you get these figures?</p>
<p>i think it was from one of the class surveys. 2004 class survey is on this link. some #s have changed slightly (econ: $53.5k, politics: $46k, woody: $47.6k) but still in the same ballpark
