This is where I have a big doubt. Do you really think these engineers from no-name schools are the ones that constitute the 'chemical engineers' as defined by CNN. If you take the number of engineers graduating from the top 50 schools, excluding the no-name schools, it might be large enough to embody the 'chemical engineers' as defined by CNN, whereas those engineers from no-name schools constitute only the menial tech jobs not counted into the average chemical enginerring jobs quoted by CNN.

<p>To reinforce what I've been saying, I just found the data for Michigan Tech. No, not Montana Tech, this is Michigan Tech. Anybody ever heard of Michigan Tech?</p>

<p>Or how about the engineering salaries at Kansas State University?</p>

<p>How about Oakland University? I never heard of Oakland University before. Apparently, it's not actually in Oakland, CA, but rather is in Rochester, Michigan, and is part of the Michigan State system. Check out the engineering salaries.</p>

<p>How about the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech)? </p>

<p>How about the engineering salaries at Utah State University? </p>

<p>Here's the University of Memphis.</p>

<p>Ok, I think I can stop now, because my point is proven. People who get engineering degrees from less-than-elite programs nevertheless seem to be doing quite well for themselves. And it's not, contrary to what justinmeche has implied, a simple matter of grades. These are average salaries we are talking about, which takes into account those who did well and those who didn't.</p>
