Yup, but that doesn't explain the discrepancy between Georgia and Auburn.

One has an abundance of STEM degrees while the other is a full serving state University that graduates teachers, social workers, communications folks, etc. Jobs that need degrees and people with them to serve in but aren't going to light up the salary scales.

There is a reason engineering type schools always rank high on these lists, and why A&M/Auburn/LSU rank so high on it.

Discrepancy is easy to account for. STEM grads get higher pay directly out of college. Schools with high % of STEM grads have higher averages. Schools with other focuses send more students to graduate school, prolonging the return on wages.
