average earnings of a grad of a given university.


fricking awful statistic. Some people end up not ever using the degree they paid for, some end up going into fields (like Agriculture, Forestry or Education) that don't pay a whole lot compared to other fields (like Business and Law), not to mention that, on average, UGA grads going to work in Atlanta aren't going to have the same opportunities as those going to Dallas or wherever from A&M (and vice-versa).

It is a good broad based indicator.

What you mean is, undergrad ROI lists naturally favor schools with heavy reliance on engineering, as this is the highest earning field that does not require any follow on graduate degree. Law, medicine, finance, and business all have requirements for follow on education (MBA, Med school, law school, etc). LSU, Auburn, and A&M all have large engineering programs.
