quote: 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. This post was edited on 10/19 at 1:23 pm

Very good point! Auburn does the same thing to UA. UA has a far higher percentage of non STEM fields of study, even though it now has just as large of an Engineering program as Auburn. So by having far more non STEM students, its AVG salary for lowers the avg salary of grads.
