<p>UF may be a top party school, but it was ranked sixth in the earning potential of graduates, according to a new survey.</p>

<p>PayScale, a company that collects employee salary data, decided to find out if Princeton Review's 2009 top 20 party universities prepare students for the competitive job market, according to its Web site.</p>

<p>According to the survey, the starting median salary for a UF graduate with a four-year degree is $47,300 and the mid-career median salary is $88,400. This is lower than UIUC graduates who have a starting median salary of $53,900 and a mid-career median salary of $99,700.</p>

<p>According to Lee, cost of living was not considered because university graduates do not always stay in the state where they studied.</p>

<p>If the results were adjusted for living expense in each state, UF would rank significantly higher, said Mark Rush, a UF professor of economics.</p>

<p>^ I forgot to add from the article that UIUC is #1 on the pay list (which is why UF was compared to UIUC).</p>
