<p>Wow, that public college list is dominated by California schools o_O</p>
<p>That’s because the UCs are basically the best public schools</p>
<p>interesting list. a lot of schools were obvious (ivy league) but some on there suprised me.</p>
<p>^ The tech/eng’g schools you mean? Oh, they shouldn’t surprise you. engineers make more money than historians, political scientists or those grads of liberal arts programs.</p>
<p>When you learn something new, you tend to forget about riches. What you learn, what you know, and what you could do with your knowledge, will be your riches.</p>
<p>J</p>
<p>It’s really because most grads from UC’s tend to settle in California where salaries and cost of living are very high comparatively, thus they earn more.</p>
<p>Glad to see Berkeley at #1 though!</p>
<p>These lists drive me crazy.</p>
<p>The implication is, “If you go to these schools, you will get rich.” Of course, what isn’t mentioned is that students who go to these schools generally come from families with more money anyway.</p>
<p>My feeling is, any university that attracts large numbers of wealthy students -irrespective of academic achievement- will eventually rise among the ranks of top-tier schools. Boulder, a traditional party school, is a good example of this, because roughly a third of the students pay out-of-state tuition. So is Notre Dame, which wasn’t known for anything but football during my parents generation. Other obvious examples not on the list include USC, NYU, and Boston University.</p>
<p>cool. im gonna get rich now… even though im failing :(</p>

<p>UCLA is in the list. It just didn’t make it to the top echelon of schools that make grads earn more when they leave schools. hehe 
The schools that occupy the top ranks are usually the best schools like Harvard, Stanford and Berkeley.</p>
