<p>CA has a high cost of living and generally higher wages than other parts of the US. as many UC students stay to work in CA, this is an important factor, but probably not taken into account in the rankings.</p>

Thank you for stating what obviously alluded others in this thread (no surprise, since the public education system is poor in most of California). Employers outside of California don't really value the UC's (other than LA and Berkeley) above any other typical state colleges.</p>

<p>University of North Carolina isn't on that list. Does that mean that UC Davis or UC Santa Barbara are better schools? Of course not.</p>

<p>This list is only indicative of the high cost of living in California, which employers must supplement with higher wages.</p>
