Colleges with Best Paid Graduates // Aug 4, 05:47 PM

Here’s a list of colleges sorted by it’s graduates’ income.

The author claims that the data is

collected by a research company named Payscale. They surveyed nearly 1.2 million users of their site over the last year. People self-reported their salaries and educational credentials along with school they graduated from.

Kent State is pretty far down the list, with starting median salary of $39,100 and mid-career median salary of $64,300. Of course, depending on ones discipline these numbers can mean close to nothing but it’s interesting to see the big picture.

What seems to be implied by the numbers though is that graduates outside of private, engineering, or Ivy League colleges have limited career advancement potential.
